Julen Lopetegui has agreed terms with West Ham as he moves closer to becoming their new manager.
David Moyes is out of contract this summer and widely expected to leave, just 12 months on from winning the Europa Conference League.
West Ham started the season strongly but have struggled to pick up wins since the turn of the year. In recent weeks the club have shipped four goals at Newcastle, five at Crystal Palace and, on Sunday, lost 5-0 at Chelsea to all but end their hopes of qualifying for Europe for a fourth successive season.
