West Ham United have made another addition to their backroom staff but this time to their academy. Whilst a formal announcement hasn’t been made, Lukasz Fabiański has joined the academy coaching team in a part-time role as a goalkeeper coach.

The former player who spent eight years as a Hammer has decided that he wants to take his first step into coaching, taking a part-time role in the academy, helping the future generation of goalkeepers.

He said: “I started working as a goalkeepers coach at the West Ham academy. It brings me a lot of joy to be back on the pitch.”

After making it to the round of 32, West Ham are officially out of the Carabao Cup after a 3-2 defeat to Fulham because of a late goal from Oscar Bobb, who capitalised on a defensive mistake.

Nuno Espírito Santo has a track record of performing well and putting out stronger squads for the cup competitions, so seeing a fairly strong lineup tonight wasn’t at all surprising.

Unfortunately, three defensive mistakes led to all three of Fulham’s goals, with the first coming through no one tracking the runner in the middle, leaving a certain goal for Muniz.
