West Ham have appointed Graham Potter as Head Coach of the club on a 2.5 year deal, it has been confirmed.

Following what has been a long drawn out saga over the last few weeks, with much anticipation that the club would replace Julen Lopetegui, the deed was finally done yesterday as the club now welcome Potter to herald a new era in east London.

Speaking after his unveiling today, the new Head Coach said that he’d taken his time with his next role choice, as he wanted a club that he felt was a good fit for him and his backroom team.

“It was important to me that I waited until a job came along that I felt was right for me, and equally that I was the right fit for the Club I am joining. That is the feeling I have with West Ham United,” Potter told the clubs Official Website.

“My conversations with the Chairman and the Board have been very positive and constructive, we share the same values of hard work and high energy to create the solid foundations that can produce success, and we are on the same wavelength in terms of what is needed in the short-term and then how we want to move the Club forward in the medium to long term.

“West Ham United is a huge Club, at the heart of London, with a tremendous fanbase and great support all around the world. I saw the scenes that followed their Europa Conference League victory in 2023 and it was clear that this is a Club with everything in place to become consistently successful, both on and off the pitch.”
