Tim Steidten Leaves West Ham Amid Management Shake-Up

West Ham United's technical director, Tim Steidten, has left the club following the appointment of new manager Graham Potter, who brought in his own head of recruitment, Kyle Macaulay. Steidten's tenure, which began in 2023, was marked by a challenging relationship with previous managers David Moyes and Julen Lopetegui. Despite overseeing a significant recruitment budget, Steidten faced criticism for the team's performance and some of the players brought in. His departure was seen as inevitable after Potter's arrival, as the club stated it was time for him to pursue new opportunities. West Ham expressed gratitude for Steidten's efforts in enhancing the team's recruitment strategy amid their current struggles in the Premier League. The club is currently positioned 15th in the league, with only one win under Potter so far.
