West Ham United have not yet made contact with Sérgio Conceição regarding their managerial position, despite internal support for the former Porto coach, according to The Guardian.
The report, published on December 2, suggests that the Hammers’ hierarchy are weighing up their options following a dismal run of form under current manager Julen Lopetegui. The Spaniard’s position has come under scrutiny after a crushing 5-2 defeat to Arsenal, which exposed tactical deficiencies and left the club languishing below expectations.
Lopetegui, who succeeded David Moyes, has struggled to replicate the Scotsman’s success, failing to establish tactical coherence or deliver consistent results. Despite significant financial backing and squad investment, West Ham’s performances have remained lackluster, raising questions about whether Lopetegui is the right man to lead the club forward.
Amid this uncertainty, Conceição is seen as a compelling alternative. The Portuguese tactician boasts an impressive résumé, having guided Porto to multiple Primeira Liga titles and developing a reputation for both winning trophies and nurturing young talent. His track record of revitalizing squads could align with West Ham’s ambitions to reestablish themselves as a competitive force in domestic and European football.
