Grieving Lopetegui's Hammers mission

Looking at video clips of Julen Lopetegui being brought to tears during his time at Sevilla when his father, Jose, rang a radio station he was appearing on to express his devotion to his son, it is hard not to feel sympathy for the former Real Madrid and Spain coach. This is where Lopetegui is now - heartbroken at the loss of one of the people he cares most about, knowing that person has taken immense pride at what he has achieved - but knowing if West Ham lose against Brighton on Saturday, his job security will reduce. For Lopetegui, that is not quite right.
