West Ham United appoint Graham Potter as manager

WEST HAM UNITED

West Ham United have named Graham Potter as their new head coach to replace Julen Lopetegui on a two-and-a-half year contract, the Premier League club announced on Thursday.

Potter returns to a managerial role for the first time since departing from Chelsea in April 2023, hoping to lift West Ham out of 14th place, where they sit just seven points above the relegation zone.

"It was important to me that I waited until a job came along that I felt was right for me, and equally that I was the right fit for the club I am joining," Potter said in a statement.
