The two up and coming crunch Premier league matches between West Ham United and Newcastle United, first, and then Arsenal, would seem to be just that. It appears that plans are well advanced now to follow David Sullivan’s M.O. of having a successor in the wings before jumping in to fire his head coach JulenLopetegui, who, to survive, needs to avoid losing heavily in both games. A tall order bearing in mind the 0-0 bore draw against lowly Everton.
Edin Terzic, the former assistant manager At West Ham under Slaven Bilic, is reported to have had a conversation with technical director Steidten in the last few weeks according to the claim in tbrfootball.com:“Steidten – Director of Football at West Ham – is believed to have already made contact with Terzic in recent weeks, and the German is free to be hired at any time after leaving Borussia Dortmund at the end of last season.”
In addition apparently, the same other shortlisted names are still under consideration: “TBR Football understand Roger Schmidt, Sebastian Hoeness and Kasper Hjulmand are also under consideration at West Ham by Steidten – who considered a move for Endrick from Real Madrid.”
Head Coach in waiting? According to report today – Edin Terzic
Hoeness as an outside bet and Terzic do seem to be getting most traction at present. Hammers’ fans and Claret and Hugh readers comments’ would suggest most are pretty positive about either option!
I am en expat living in Denmark. I really hope we don’t get Hjulmand. He is not regarded highly here at all, and when I speak to people here about the possibility of him going to West Ham I get smirked, and quite rightly they call our club hopeless with attracting managers, as long as Sullivan is there.
Sully’s reputation for disastrous appointments is known worldwide.
Anyone who loves and knows football is going to be cringing or laughing at the coaches he picks to lead West Han
Who is Steindten going to interview for sports director he’s certainly no good at the job
Please not Edin – Hoeness is the better choice!
Terzic is VERY GOOD friends with Stiendten For me i would take a chance on Van Nisleroy and hope someone knows of a good sports director
Are you Taffyhanmers wife? 🤣🤣🤣
Can’t say I was convinced when his name was first put in the spotlight, not that I know that much about him but it doesn’t sound like he is a particularly progressive manager! But then you think to yourself it’s got to be better than the current manager. The problem is that’s exactly how many of us felt when we heard the current joker was taking over from Moyes. I might turn to religion 🙏😂
That’s why Sully should step away from the interview process!
