Graham Potter development emerges as West Ham United eye new manager

Graham Potter is now ready to take the West Ham job until the end of the season initially, according to talkSPORT.

The news outlet reported on 9 December that Julen Lopetegui is likely to be sacked if the Hammers lose to Wolves on Monday night.

Potter, who has been out of work since being sacked by Chelsea, is understood to be ready to take over and replace the Spaniard at the London Stadium.

Graham Potter would be a very good fit for West Ham

Gary Lineker has labelled the Englishman a “very talented” manager, especially for the work he’s done at Brighton.

His experience at the Amex Stadium, where he overachieved with limited resources, shows he can manage expectations and deliver results.

Potter’s calm demeanour and ability to handle media scrutiny would be beneficial at the London Stadium, especially in a high-pressure environment.

His track record in player development, especially with young talents, could further enhance the squad’s potential.

Moreover, Potter’s time at Chelsea, despite the challenges, demonstrated his capability to manage at an elite level, making him a strategic choice for the Hammers looking to elevate their game and perhaps challenge for European spots.
