Tim Steidten To Arsenal? -West Ham’s Technical Director COULD Join Arsenal to Replace Edu BUT There’s an HINDRANCE from Arsenal’s Camp to Ditch….

Arsenal Set to Snub West Ham’s Tim Steidten for Technical Director Role

Arsenal are unlikely to appoint West Ham’s technical director, Tim Steidten, as Edu’s replacement, according to football consultant and former Everton CEO, Keith Wyness.

Speaking on Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, Wyness expressed doubts about Steidten’s suitability for the role, citing his tumultuous tenure at West Ham. “Football’s always blamed for rewarding failure,” Wyness said. “I know Steidten had problems with Moyes, he won that battle. He was then responsible for the appointment of Lopetegui. He will carry that can.”

Steidten’s appointment of Julen Lopetegui, whose managerial future hangs in the balance, has drawn criticism. Wyness suggested that Steidten’s potential move to Arsenal would be “rewarding failure,” and that the Gunners are likely to explore alternative options.

While acknowledging the possibility of Steidten joining Arsenal in a diminished capacity, Wyness believes the club’s strong executive team would restrict his influence. “Maybe he could have a diminished role at Arsenal, where the executive team are a lot stronger. They would manage a lot of issues and keep him in a tighter box.”

Wyness concluded, “Arsenal could be a route for him, but I think they’ll go in a different direction. I think Steidten won’t get that gig. But if Lopetegui has to go at West Ham, then he may have to go as well.”

Key Points:

• Arsenal unlikely to appoint Tim Steidten as technical director.
• Steidten’s West Ham tenure marred by conflicts with David Moyes and Lopetegui’s struggling managerial stint.
• Keith Wyness doubts Steidten’s suitability, citing concerns over “rewarding failure.”
• Arsenal expected to explore alternative options for Edu’s replacement.
• Steidten’s future at West Ham uncertain, potentially tied to Lopetegui’s managerial fate.
