West Ham is set to part ways with technical director Tim Steidten after restricting his involvement in transfer decisions due to disappointing player signings. Steidten's challenges included strained relations with past managers like David Moyes and Julen Lopetegui. His control over transfers diminished following the arrival of Kyle Macaulay, a former Chelsea analyst aligned with new manager Graham Potter. The club faces scrutiny over a 100 million investment in signings that yielded poor results, leading to internal dissatisfaction with Steidten’s strategies.
West Ham are finalising the departure of their technical director, Tim Steidten, after freezing him out of their transfer plans due to questionable signings.
Steidten's power has been stripped away this month as the board decided to restrict his access to internal systems.
Macaulay, who is highly respected within the game, could take over as head of recruitment, allowing new manager Graham Potter to accelerate his transfer plans.
West Ham's misgivings around Steidten developed after they saw little return on an investment of over 100m in new signings last summer.
