In a strategic move, West Ham United has announced Graham Potter as their new head coach, replacing Julen Lopetegui. The former Chelsea manager is set to lead the Premier League team on a two-and-a-half-year contract.

Potter, who parted ways with Chelsea in April, faces the immediate challenge of lifting West Ham from 14th position, just seven points shy of the relegation zone. His appointment marks his return to management, replacing Lopetegui, whose tenure saw a string of defeats.

Potter's tenure with Chelsea was short-lived despite a significant investment in new signings. At West Ham, he aims to instill a similar high-energy, hard-working ethos which aligns with the club's values as he steps into this crucial role.
