Only two of the Hammers’ past eight league games have been victories, and they have had a challenging start to life under the Spaniard.
If West Ham lost to the Toffees at the London Stadium on Saturday, it is believed that owner David Sullivan may consider replacing Lopetegui as head coach.
However, Lopetegui maintained that nothing has changed and that he has not been under any pressure from the owner, reports Daily Mail.
Regarding his relationship with Sullivan, Lopetegui stated, “I speak with him every week, as usual.”
“We know, but I won’t reveal anything we discuss with him. Every week, I discuss the team’s many circumstances with him, but this week has been no different from others. We converse every week.
“Since my very first day as a coach, I have been under a lot of pressure. I am aware of my responsibilities, our tasks, and our capabilities.
The most important thing I do as a coach and for the players is to try to focus on the daily tasks and the next game.”
“I am confident that we have plenty of time to make changes and transform this negative moment into a positive one.”
