Premier League outfit West Ham United have announced the appointment of former Chelsea and Brighton boss, Graham Potter, as the club’s new manager on Thursday morning.
The Hammers parted ways with Julen Lopetegui on Wednesday evening and have wasted no time in unveiling his successor in Graham Potter within 24 hours of letting go of the Spaniard.
Potter, who has been out of work since he was fired by Chelsea in 2023, will take charge of the Hammers for the first time in the FA Cup tie against Aston Villa on Friday evening.
The former Ostersund and Swansea manager has signed a two-and-a-half year deal with the London-based outfit. Potter will be charged with rescuing West Ham’s season, in which the club has won only three of its last 11 games and is 14th in the league standings — seven points above the relegation zone.
