West Ham Eyeing 'Incredible' Manager as Julen Lopetegui Replacement
By Matt Smith
West Ham United are eyeing former Borussia Dortmund manager Edin Terzic if they do decide to pull the trigger on struggling Julen Lopetegui.
The Hammers were heavily defeated by London rivals Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend and Lopetegui has found it difficult since his move to the London Stadium.
According to a report from Sky Sports' Florian Plettenberg, Terzic, who spent time at West Ham as assistant to Slaven Bilic, is being eyed as a possible replacement for Lopetegui if the Hammers decide to make a change. The former Dortmund boss, who has been described as 'incredible', has regularly played an attacking 4-3-3 formation during his career, which could excite West Ham fans who might not be enjoying the football on display at the moment.
The 41-year-old has been out of work since leaving Dortmund, and according to Plettenberg, he's ready for a new challenge. Although he's spent time in the Premier League with West Ham as Bilic's assistant, he's yet to manage as head coach in England.
West Ham currently find themselves sitting in 15th place in the Premier League table, just five points above the relegation zone. The defeat away to Tottenham will have been a major disappointment for the club, especially after the Hammers went 1-0 up. Lopetegui's side capitulated after going a goal to the good with the travelling supporters making their feelings known towards the end of the game.
Terzic will undoubtedly bring exciting football to the London Stadium, and that's what many West Ham fans will be hoping for. Although David Moyes brought success to the club, there's an argument to suggest that it wasn't the most pleasing on the eye to watch. Lopetegui is a similar manager, and as it stands, his brand of football isn't proving to be effective for the Hammers.
West Ham face Manchester United up next in the Premier League, before a trip to high-flying Nottingham Forest in what could be a crucial few weeks for Lopetegui.

Player transfer flirts with West Ham and Liverpool – May even prefer Hammers
Centre-back Sam Beukema has risen in stature at Bologna since last season.
Before the Rossoblu’s clash against Liverpool some weeks ago, he spoke about how he could have joined Arne Slot during his time at Feyenoord.
That didn’t go through as Beukema joined Bologna instead. He he’s now made his admiration for the Reds clear but also talked about his boyhood love for West Ham United.
He spoke to Corriere dello Sport, ahead of the Serie A side’s clash against Aston Villa, and is quoted as saying: “I also have ambitions and hope one day to be able to play maybe in the Premier League or another big club.
“I was a fan of West Ham. I once visited Upton Park with my father and I was really impressed, because the atmosphere was similar to that of Feyenoord or Go Ahead Eagles.
“But there are so many fantastic teams in England, so if another great club like Liverpool came along I would be happy to go there one day.”
The 25-year-old has already visited Anfield and that happened when the Rossoblu took on Liverpool some weeks ago, with the Reds running out winners despite Bologna giving a good account of themselves.
Beukema’s reputation has grown since he started working under Thiago Motta last season.
He’s been linked with a host of Italian clubs in recent weeks and that suggests that he could be on his way out of Bologna soon. Talking about West Ham and Liverpool is one way to grab everyone’s attention.
