West Ham has hired Graham Potter as the coach a day after Julen Lopetegui was fired. Potter has been out of management since he was fired by Chelsea in 2023 after just seven months in the job at Stamford Bridge. Potter takes over a team that has won only three of its last 11 games and is 14th in the standings, seven points above the relegation zone. Potter enjoyed an impressive rise after beginning his coaching career at Ostersunds in Sweden in 2011. He took over at Swansea in 2018 and by 2022 was in charge of Premier League giant Chelsea after a stint at Brighton.
