West Ham United have officially parted ways with head coach Graham Potter, ending his tenure just nine months after his appointment. The decision follows a string of poor results that left the Hammers languishing in 19th place in the Premier League, with only three points from five matches.
📉 What Went Wrong?
Potter won just 6 of 25 matches in charge, with only 3 victories in his last 16.
The team suffered heavy defeats to Sunderland, Chelsea, Tottenham, and most recently Crystal Palace, which proved the final straw.
Despite a full pre-season and significant summer investment, West Ham failed to show progress, ranking near the bottom for pressing intensity and attacking transitions.
🧹 Backroom Clear-Out
Alongside Potter, the club also dismissed:
Assistant coach Bruno Saltor
First team coaches Billy Reid and Narcis Pelach
Goalkeeper coaches Casper Ankergren and Linus Kandolin
🔄 Who’s Next?
Former Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo is tipped to take over, with reports suggesting he could be in charge for West Ham’s upcoming clash against Everton
🗣️ Club Statement
“Results and performances over the course of the second half of last season and the start of the 2025/26 season have not matched expectations… a change is necessary to help improve the team’s position in the Premier League.”
