West Ham United have parted ways with Graham Potter after a disappointing start to the new Premier League season. The club confirmed the decision following a 2-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace.
The loss left West Ham sitting near the bottom of the table. With only three points from five matches, pressure on Potter had increased. The board finally decided a change was needed to protect the clubβs future.
Graham Potter joined West Ham earlier this year, hoping to bring stability and a fresh style of play. However, results were poor, and performances failed to convince both fans and management. The team struggled in attack and looked weak in defense.
Supporters had grown frustrated with the lack of progress. Defeats against Sunderland, Chelsea, and Tottenham highlighted deeper problems within the squad. Even in home matches, West Ham could not build momentum.
The club also confirmed that several members of Potterβs coaching staff will leave alongside him. This includes assistants and specialist coaches who joined during his short tenure.
Now, attention turns to who will take over the job. With a long season ahead, West Ham must act quickly to appoint a new manager. The board wants someone who can lift morale and deliver consistent results.
For Graham Potter, the sacking is another setback in his coaching career. He remains respected for his tactical ideas but has faced challenges in turning plans into results at top-level clubs.
The coming weeks will be vital for West Ham. A new manager must improve form before the team falls further behind in the Premier League race.
