West Ham are considering sacking manager Julien Lopetegui, talkSPORT understands.

The Hammers board are expected to hold crunch talks this week to debate Lopetegui’s future after Tuesday’s disastrous 3-1 defeat at Leicester.

Sporting director Tim Steidten, who advised owner David Sullivan not to appoint Lopetegui, is understood to be pushing for a change.

As previously reported by talkSPORT, Steidten has already held talks with former Borussia Dortmund boss Edin Terzic.

Ex-Porto chief Sergio Conceicao and Graham Potter are other potential replacements for Lopetegui.

Potter has turned down numerous opportunities since being sacked by Chelsea in April last year, but is now ready to return to work.
