English coach Graham Potter, without a position since his departure from Chelsea in 2023, was appointed to the West Ham bench on Thursday January 9, the day after the announced departure of Spaniard Julen Lopetegui, sacked for poor results. The 49-year-old manager has signed a two and a half year contract, said the east London club, fourteenth in the Premier League. He will lead his new team for the first time on Friday at Aston Villa in the FA Cup. West Ham invested massively during the last summer transfer window and the results did not follow.
