West Ham United has officially appointed Julen Lopetegui as their new head coach, replacing David Moyes. The agreement between West Ham and Lopetegui was finalized on May 6, with the formal announcement made on May 23. Lopetegui, a former manager of Spain and Real Madrid, has signed a two-year deal with an option for a third year. The club is already planning for the summer transfer window under his guidance. Lopetegui aims to balance the fans' desire for more attractive football with a tighter defense, despite having limited say on transfers. Lopetegui expressed his interest in coaching at West Ham during a visit to London Stadium in 2022.
