Saudi Pro League: Amidst speculations suggesting West Ham head coach Julen Lopetegui is close to being sacked, former West Ham coach Harry Redknapp has labelled the Hammers’ treatment of the Spaniard as disrespectful.

West Ham have cancelled a planned news conference with head coach Lopetegui, with the Spaniard's future at the club looking increasingly uncertain. The 58-year-old was due to speak to the media on Wednesday, before the FA Cup third-round tie with Aston Villa on Friday.

The Hammers are in discussions with former Brighton and Chelsea manager Graham Potter about taking his place, initially on a temporary basis.
