Reports that West Ham have identified Sergio Conceição as a replacement for Julen Lopetegui are being driven by Hammers Director of Football Tim Steidten.
The Hammers’ Director of Football has always distanced himself from the appointment of Lopetegui, who was widely regarded as David Sullivan’s choice. Media sources close to Steidten have even claimed the German warned Sullivan against appointing the former Wolves boss.
Now, it seems history is repeating itself, with Steidten reportedly targeting former Porto manager Conceição—a move that contrasts with the club favourite, Edin Terzic. Terzic is believed to have agreed in principle to take the West Ham job if Lopetegui is sacked.
Of course, everything hinges on the Hammers’ next two matches (doesn’t it always?), which are against relegation battlers Leicester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
In a strange coincidence, Conceição came close to joining our next opponents Leicester City following their title triumph but his club at the time-Nantes-refused to let him leave. The Portuguese coach has won three league titles at Porto.
Sully seems to undermine Tim at every chance and ignored his choices for the coach to replace Moyes.
Using Jorge Mendes to appoint JLo was a massive error. He is definitely an agent we should avoid at all costs as Wolves fans will know all too well.
Mendes brought in untold players for inflated fees that didn’t work out and were sold for big losses.
Guess who is the agent for Sergio Conceic…..
👉 Jorge Mendes 👈
Hurzeler / Amorin and Horness were on Tim’s list to replace Moyes and Sully went for JLo!
Terzic will probably be Sully’s next choice as he is available without compensation 🤦♂️
Highest turnover outside of Top 6 in Premiership and we still don’t go for coaches that other progressive clubs desire.
We end up with coaches that other fans don’t want or are out of work 🤦♂️
I think moyes had plastic surgery and now calls himself lope what’s his face?
🤣🤣🤣
Same old same old …two games ,six games etc etc to save his job . He should never have been given the job and come to that Moyes should have gone 12 months earlier . Sullivan messes around and only deals with mates where a back hander is available . The club is run by a costa monger and managed by a clown . Disgraceful .
We need to stop talking about getting a new manager in. It is very unsettling for manager, club, players and supporters.
It’s time to ignore the negative comments and show full support to manager and players starting tonight.
Well said.
Definitely an exciting appointment if it’s true, I don’t know enough about him to have an idea if he would be great for us or not but he is well regarded and his teams play attacking football from what I have read.
Well, Conceição likes aggressive teams, so at least he would get them running and fighting for every ball. I don’t like him as a person (too brash), but his teams are competitive.
Sullivan should just admit he got it wrong and sack soppy Loppy, Carrick is doing a great job at Middlesbrough, maybe time to step up to the prem and just come home.
Michael Carrick’s doing a great job at Middlesborough. Ex-Hammer, highly intelligent footballer, long Premiership experience. Don’t understand why he’s not even being mentioned.
Sullivan will appoint a manager that he won’t have to pay compo for. So be prepared for the unveiling of our new manager who is currently available without any compo needed, and he has had job offers but hadn’t taken any of them, so folks let me introduce you to the next west ham manager, drum roll please it’s none other than David moyes. 🤣🤣🤣
I have been shouting for Conceicao for ages, the guy is a top coach and he plays youngsters, we would be a seriously good team to watch.
Conceicao seems like the best affordable ( Sullivan style cheap ) option . There are underlying problems with Tersic ( players hate him ) , Potter took years with Brighton and failed with Chelsea ( unimaginative ) and a lot of old fellas looking for a pay day as well as the others who feel Westham are too small for them . Sullivan himself will know that another catastrophic mistake like LOSEpetegui will relegate Westham and so let’s hope that he gets some expert advice for his upcoming decision .
If it’s not Hoeness then Conceicao is probably a great choice 👌
Tim can go. Outlived his purpose if he is looking for new managers.
Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes bought Lopetegui to West Ham and now he’s got to put things right?
Jorge Mendes is one of the main reasons Wolves signed so many players for them at inflated prices with big losses and gave them PSR issues.
No we want Marcello Gillardo
I wanted Nisslroy but i believe Stiden chose 2 managers which ever one gets it and gets it wrong it wont be his fault just like the crocks he bought in as usual we will leave it too late and there wont be any decent ones left
Did anyone other than Sullivan really think that Lopetegui was a good appointment ? I accepted him less than enthusiastically shall we say and hoped for the best that hasn’t happened. I honestly didn’t expect things to be as shambolic as they have been though. Man did Sullivan goof with that one.
Like you I was underwhelmed with Sully’s choice but didn’t expect it to be a failure as epic as this!
I wanted Nisslroy but i believe Stiden chose 2 managers which ever one gets it and gets it wrong it wont be his fault just like the crocks he bought in
I’m not sure TS always distanced himself from the JLO appointment. He seemed to wait until we were well into the season when it was well and truly going belly up before these stories emerged that he didn’t want JLo
I call him SNIDEn he is very good at getting it wrong and blaming others I believe he is part of his own old boy network that’s where the crock comes in also Tezic is a VERY close friend
Let’s just sack Lopetegui first eh before all the talk about this Manager and that Manager coming in.
Remove the problem at source first then I don’t care if we get Mickey Mouse in as Manager,oh sorry I’m bad that won’t happen cos Mickey Mouse is already our chairman.
The clubs rotten to the core with that Pygmy overseeing it all….joke club
Mickey Mouse is under contract with Disney so Sullivan won’t pay the compensation.
Well it’s only £4.99 a month with ads, so maybe he will?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s well known Tim had Amorin, Hoeness and Hurzeler in his list. Pretty safe to say JLo is nothing like any of them but would have to sit there in disbelief at Sully’s decision like the rest of us.
Can we just go for Potter? And then get a British back bone to the team?
We should be targeting the best Chamionship players, plus the players on the fringes of top 8 teams. Last summer Smith-Rowe, Nketieh, Gallagher, Chalobah. A few seasons ago players like Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi. These are the type of players we should be going for.
Not over 30 ‘hasbeens’ or 18 year old ‘wonderlids’ who get no where near kicking a ball for us.
I dont believe potter has proved himself with only Brighton on thelist and they are doing better without him and i believe Sullivan has said he is a NO
I’m not advocating for Potter, but his Win/Loss percentage has been:
Ostersund – 51%
Swansea – 41%
Brighton – 31%
Chelsea – 38.7%
466 games in total
But! Does having a british backbone guaruntee improvements in this club..?? Potter didn’t fare that well at Chelsea who do have quite a few English players in they’re squad..??
Mourhino would be a much more solid choice, who would aim us straight back into european football as well as up the pl..??💯⚒️⚒️
What’s your source or is this just another attempt to generate click income?
Think we all know the answer to that 🤦♂️
