Wolves fans claim Julen Lopetegui ‘bottled it’ after West Ham update

Wolves fans have renewed their anger towards former manager Julen Lopetegui after he agreed to take over from David Moyes at West Ham.

The Spaniard left Molineux in controversial circumstances last summer after he was highly critical of the players and unhappy with the board.

However, with the Hammers searching for a new boss as Moyes is set to leave the London Stadium this summer, it appears the former Wolves man will replace him.

Football Insider has reported that Lopetegui has accepted an offer to become the new West Ham manager.

Many supporters at Molineux have voiced their displeasure towards Lopetegui, with some labelling him “pathetic” and a “fraud” while others warned West Ham to “beware”.
