Graham Potter Appointed Head Coach of West Ham

West Ham United has appointed Graham Potter as their new head coach, replacing Julen Lopetegui, who was sacked after just six months due to poor team performance. Potter, who has been out of management since his departure from Chelsea in April 2023, signed a two-and-a-half-year contract and will lead the team in their upcoming FA Cup match against Aston Villa. The Hammers currently sit 14th in the Premier League, having won only three of their last eleven games, which left them just seven points above the relegation zone. Potter expressed his excitement about joining West Ham, emphasizing the club's potential for success and his alignment with their goals. He will be joined by several coaching staff members, including assistant Bruno and first-team coaches Billy Reid and Narcis Pelach. The club aims to build on their recent successes, including a Europa Conference League victory in 2023, as they look to stabilize and improve their standing in the league.
