JULEN LOPETEGUI is determined to make a "big noise" at West Ham after being confirmed as David Moyes' replacement.
Moyes led the Hammers to the Europa Conference League title last year but departed at the end of the recent season.
Former Wolves and Real Madrid boss Lopetegui, 57, has taken over after a poor run saw West Ham finish ninth in the Premier League. He has joined on a two-year deal, with the option for a third.
"I feel that we have a fantastic platform," said the Spaniard, who officially begins his role on July 1.
"The last few years have been very good years to have this base, of course, but my ambition as a coach is always to be better and better, to achieve more and bigger aims and to encourage and improve the players, the team, and to compete because football is about this to compete. We are very ambitious about this.
