Here Is What He Said:
“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 we 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.
The new boss will commence his job from July 1st which is expected to be his first day taking charge of things ahead of the preseason.
Julen Lopetegui experience with top clubs in Europe will come in handy in the Premier League which he hope to make a lot of impact and turn things arpund for the Hammers.
