West Ham sack coach Graham Potter after poor run of results in Premier League

Graham Potter, who had earlier coached Chelsea, replaced Julen Lopetegui to become the head coach of West Ham United in January this year. "West Ham United can confirm that Head Coach Graham Potter has left the Club,” the Premier League club announced in an official statement on its website.

As “results and performances over the course of the second half of last season and the start of the 2025/26 season” did not meet expectations, the Board of Directors decided to sack Graham Potter to “help improve the team’s position in the Premier League as soon as possible”, the statement added.

West Ham United mentioned that the process of appointing Potter’s “replacement” was already “underway”.
