West Ham United is delighted to announce the appointment of Julen Lopetegui as the Club's new men's Head Coach.
The former Spain, Porto, Real Madrid, Sevilla and Wolverhampton Wanderers coach will officially begin work with the Hammers on 1 July.
Lopetegui has put together an impressive coaching CV over the past two decades, leading Sevilla to UEFA Europa League glory and Spain's U21s and U19s to UEFA European Championship success. He is widely respected for his clear football philosophy, flexible tactical approach, competitive character and man-management skills.
The appointment of the experienced Spaniard as Head Coach marks the next step in West Ham United's new and growing football strategy, which gained pace in July 2023 with the arrival of Tim Steidten as the Club's Technical Director.
Lopetegui is looking forward to starting work with the players upon their return to pre-season training in July and – speaking to West Ham TV – expressed his excitement at building on the strong foundations put in place and bringing his own style to London Stadium.
“I feel very happy, first of all, to be able to be part of the future of this big Club,” said Lopetegui. “We will try to put our stamp on the Club.
“I feel that we have a fantastic platform. I think the last few years have been very good years to have this base, of course, but my ambition as a coach is always to be better and better, to achieve more and bigger aims and to encourage and improve the players, the team, and to compete because football is about this – to compete. We are very ambitious about this.
“I am where I want to be. I am here because I want to be here and for us it was a fantastic day when we closed our agreement here because our commitment is 100 per cent to be here. We had other opportunities but I am very happy that West Ham chose me because I chose West Ham too, so we are really happy about this.
“We came here with the idea and the thought to make a big, big noise. That's why we came here, and we are excited by this challenge. Of course, we are going to do our best to help the Club and the team to achieve to achieve the best level and to achieve our aims. I assure the fans that they are going to be key in all our achievements.”
