Graham Potter Named West Ham Manager After Lopetegui's Departure

The former Chelsea coach takes over with a two-and-a-half-year contract as West Ham struggles in the Premier League standings.

West Ham United has parted ways with Julen Lopetegui after disappointing results in the first half of the 2024/25 season.
Graham Potter, previously at Chelsea and Brighton, has been appointed as the new manager with a two-and-a-half-year deal.
The club currently sits 14th in the Premier League, just seven points above the relegation zone, with only three wins in their last eleven matches.
Potter emphasized shared values of hard work and energy as he aims to rebuild a foundation for success at the club.
German striker Niclas Füllkrug, who has struggled with injuries and form since joining in the summer, hopes to improve under Potter's leadership.
