West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus may be facing the possibility of never playing under manager Julen Lopetegui again if the team loses against Everton this weekend. The Spanish manager is under significant pressure following a recent defeat against Nottingham Forest, putting his position in jeopardy as the international break approaches.
Kudus, who has not been performing at his best this season compared to his impressive debut year in the Premier League, received a red card in the match against Tottenham. This has resulted in him missing several games and being fined for his actions. As a result, he will not be available for selection until the match against Leicester City in December, by which time Lopetegui could potentially be sacked.
Reports of disagreements between Kudus and Lopetegui have surfaced, with the player being substituted at halftime in a previous game. If Lopetegui does indeed get sacked, it may not be a negative development for Kudus, considering their strained relationship.
The situation at West Ham is further complicated by allegations against David Sullivan, one of the club’s owners, regarding a withdrawn managerial contract offer. This adds to the uncertainty surrounding the team’s leadership and direction.
As West Ham prepares to face Everton, fans are left wondering about the future of the team and the potential changes that may occur in the coming weeks. The performance in the upcoming match could have significant implications for both Lopetegui and Kudus, shaping the trajectory of their respective tenures at the club. Stay tuned for more updates on West Ham’s evolving situation.
