Graham Potter hire: Exit clause update as West Ham hire imminent
West Ham have not set any break clauses for Graham Potter ahead of taking over from Julen Lopetegui, according to Jacob Steinberg.
The Guardian journalist reported on 8 January that the 49-year-old will have no clauses or targets to hit at the London Stadium if he is to become head coach.
The former Chelsea boss looks set to sign a two-and-a-half-year deal in East London, providing a chance to put his spell at Stamford Bridge behind him.
Graham Potter set to become West Ham manager
The ex-Brighton manager looks likely to take over the Irons after Julen Lopetegui faced the sack on Wednesday (8 January).
It is safe to say that results under the Spaniard hadn’t been good enough and it is no surprise that the Hammers’ hierarchy had enough and made a bold decision.
It is safe to say that supporters were unhappy with the former Real Madrid boss and will largely be happy to see a new gaffer coming in.
Given the demand for a better footballing philosophy after the departure of David Moyes, fans are likely to be pleased with Potter coming in.
The Englishman has been famed for his spell with Brighton where he made the most of limited transfer funds to form a squad that was competing positively in the Premier League.
Despite struggling at Chelsea, there is every hope that the coach will be able to succeed at the London Stadium with a view to playing attractive football that supporters can get behind.
