West Ham hold back from Lopetegui announcement

West Ham United do not intend to unveil new manager Julen Lopetegui until the end of the season.

Lopetegui has agreed to take charge of the Hammers, with it being announced David Moyes will step down.

However, the London Evening Standard says out of respect to their departing manager, West Ham will hold back from holding Lopetegui's presentation.

West Ham's board regret the pursuit of his replacement being played out in the press.

As such, nothing will be confirmed until Moyes sees out his final game.
