West Ham Manager Insights

With the Spaniard on the brink, he has been more like Flopetegui than Lopetegui at West Ham. 

The Hammers were expected to compete for a finish in the top half of the Premier League this season, or even push for European qualification, but instead they are just above the drop zone.

West Ham, who spent £100 million on new players in the summer window, lost their season opener 2-1 at home to Aston Villa but then picked up three points away to Crystal Palace. 

Losing at home to Manchester City and Chelsea at home popped the bubbles, though the successive home wins against Ipswich Town and Manchester United got some much-needed points on the board either side of a concerning defeat to their fierce London rivals Tottenham.

A 3-0 loss to surprise package Nottingham Forest led to speculation Lopetegui's days could be numbered, but a 2-0 win away to Newcastle United offered the Spaniard a stay of execution. 

It seems certain his time is up now, though, with the Hammers again seeking a new manager.

How Have Previous West Ham Managers Performed?

  • David Moyes: December 2019-Summer 2024
  • Manuel Pellegrini: Summer 2018-December 2019
  • David Moyes: November 2017-Summer 2018
  • Slaven Bilic: Summer 2015-November 2017
  • Sam Allardyce: Summer 2011-Summer 2015
  • Avram Grant: Summer 2010-Summer 2011
  • Gianfranco Zola: September 2008-Summer 2010

Moyes gave West Ham the glory of a European title but after struggling to follow that success in the 2023-24 season, he was replaced by Lopetegui. The Scot had led the Hammers to sixth and seventh-placed finishes in the Premier League table, but never fully won over the club's fans.

Pellegrini lasted just 18 months in the middle of Moyes' two spells, with the former Manchester City manager leaving with the Hammers one point above the Premier League relegation zone. His position had become untenable after suffering a ninth defeat in their past 12 matches.

West Ham first turned to Moyes in 2017, with the Scot arriving with the Hammers stuck in the relegation zone and managing to lead them to safety with two league games still to play. He had only signed a short-term contract and was not offered an extension, but he would soon be back.

Moyes had replaced Bilic, who was fired after a 4-1 defeat to Liverpool. Bilic had become West Ham's most expensive signing when he joined in January 1996 for £1.3 million but his return in the dugout turned sour despite the Croatian leading them to seventh spot in his first season.

In a similar way to Moyes, Allardyce delivered solid success at West Ham amid a regular undercurrent of grumbles from fans about his tactical approach. The Englishman got West Ham back to the Premier League at the first time of asking, via the play-offs, and quickly established them back in the top division. His departure was described as mutual after declining returns.

Israeli manager Grant had taken Chelsea to the Champions League and League Cup finals after replacing Jose Mourinho, but his sole season at West Ham ended in their relegation.

Iconic Italian forward Zola got the West Ham job at the start of his coaching career and his first year was a success, delivering a top-half Premier League finish. But the second season was more of a struggle with West Ham finishing just above the relegation zone and Zola was sacked.

Next West Ham Manager Odds and Analysis

With Lopetegui set to go soon, let's take an early look at some of the next West Ham manager options with BetVictor the first British betting site to have opened a book on this market. 

Others will follow suit soon, but here are the early names in the frame for the West Ham job.

The odds were correct at the time of writing this analysis. Check the main table above for the latest next West Ham manager odds.

BetVictor logo

Graham Potter - 1/3

Along with Moyes, Potter is one of the experienced Premier League figures to be out of work right now and is therefore a firm fixture on a few different next manager betting odds lists.

In recent days, rumours have circulated that Potter is being lined up to take the job should West Ham lose on Monday night, which is likely why he is the strong 1/3 favourite with the bookmakers.

The former Chelsea boss was strongly linked with Leicester City back in the summer but they went for Steve Cooper instead, then turned to Ruud van Nistelrooy when that did not work out.

Kasper Hjulmand - 6/1

Close behind Potter in the next West Ham manager betting odds is the former manager of the Denmark national team, with Hjulmand having left that post at the end of Euro 2024. 

Hjulmand made history early in his coaching career when he led Nordsjælland to their Danish Superliga title in 2012 - the first time in the club's history they had achieved the feat.

He went on to replace Thomas Tuchel at Mainz but was unable to inspire the German side to success, later returning to Nordsjælland before taking charge of Denmark, who he led to the Euro 2020 semis and earned praise for how he handled Christian Eriksen's shock collapse.

Something of a surprise contender given his relative lack of experience at the top of the game, Hjulmand is reportedly a firm favourite of the sporting director for the Hammers, Tim Steidten.

BetVictor logo

Sergio Conceicao - 8/1

Initial reports in the media have indicated that West Ham are considering replacing Lopetegui with Conceicao and he is among the early favourites in the club's next manager betting odds.

Available after a seven-year spell at Porto - where he had begun his playing career - Conceicao has a lot of European experience under his belt having taken the team to a pair of Champions League quarter-finals, along with racking up a trio of league titles in his native Portugal.

Conceicao is also being linked with Everton, who could soon be looking for a new manager too.

BetVictor logo

Edin Terzic - 8/1

Bilic's former assistant left Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2024, shortly after his side had been beaten by Real Madrid in the final of the Champions League.

Dortmund won the German Cup during Terzic's time in charge but they only finished fifth in the Bundesliga last term, having missed out on a fantastic chance to win the title in the previous campaign, missing out to Bayern Munich on goal difference after they could only draw with Mainz on the last day of the season.

BetVictor logo

Michael Carrick - 25/1

Former West Ham and England midfielder Carrick is doing solid work in the Championship with Middlesbrough, but the Premier League might be too soon for him.

Carrick uses stylish tactics but his Boro have struggled for consistency, with eye-catching wins mixed with shock losses.

BetVictor logo

Roger Schmidt - 33/1

Most recently in charge of Benfica, German manager Schmidt led the Portuguese side to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Schmidt has also managed clubs as diverse as the Chinese Super League side Beijing Sinobo Guoan and Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven, both of which won cups during his time in charge. He also spent three years with Bayer Leverkusen.

BetVictor logo

Sebastian Hoeness - 33/1

Having been listed in the next Manchester United manager betting odds before Ruben Amorim got the job, Hoeness could yet get a Premier League role when the West Ham vacancy arises.

Fine work at Stuttgart, who he kept in the Bundesliga and led to a second-placed finish behind Bayer Leverkusen last term, has given Hoeness a much bigger public profile in the game.

BetVictor logo

Max Allegri - 33/1

Being pictured in London recently has led to reports that former Juventus boss Allegri would be open to a Premier League job. He is also reportedly of interest to the West Ham board.

The Italian led the Old Lady to five Serie A titles in his first spell in charge, but when he returned in 2021 after a couple of years away, he struggled to make the same impact in Turin.

Allegri had two seasons without a trophy but at least delivered the 2024 Coppa Italia with a 1-0 defeat of Atalanta. But he was sacked just two days later, following his aggressive behaviour in the game.
