West Ham Set to Replace Julen Lopetegui with Graham Potter

The Premier League club is finalizing a deal with Potter after a disappointing eight-month tenure under Lopetegui.

Julen Lopetegui has been sacked by West Ham after winning just six of 20 league games, leaving the team 14th in the Premier League standings.
Lopetegui's dismissal follows heavy defeats to Liverpool and Manchester City during the holiday period, further straining his position at the club.
West Ham has progressed in negotiations with Graham Potter, who is expected to sign a two-and-a-half-year contract through 2027.
Potter, previously the manager of Brighton and Chelsea, has been out of management since April 2023 and reportedly sought a longer-term deal to return to coaching.
West Ham's technical director, Tim Steidten, was involved in discussions with Potter, while tensions between Steidten and Lopetegui reportedly contributed to the latter's exit.
