West Ham United are set to review the role of technical director Tim Steidten, despite new head coach Graham Potter expressing confidence in working alongside the controversial figure, The Telegraph

It is Premier League form on which Potter will ultimately be judged and the 49-year-old’s task between now and the end of the season will be to deliver enough of an upturn in results and performances to suggest the club have got their choice of David Moyes's successor right at the second time of asking.

Potter’s woes at Chelsea were not entirely of his own making, but his stock has fallen since success at Brighton and his gamble on the West Ham job is a make-or-break moment for his coaching career

There will be no more bubbles blown for Julen Lopetegui at West Ham, who fired the Spanish coach on Wednesday and announced Graham Potter as his replacement. Potter has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract and was unveiled as the club’s new manager at a press conference on Thursday.

The former Brighton and Chelsea boss was named as Julen Lopetegui's successor this morning, signing a two-and-a-half-year deal with the club

West Ham had 'reached agreements in principle' with Galtier and Fonseca if Potter rejected the chance to replace Lopetegui. The English tactician was the Hammers' 'first choice', and the 49-year-old has since highlighted how he had waited for 'the right job' after his Chelsea sacking over 18 months ago.

Former Baltimore Orioles pitcher Brian Matusz, a first-round draft pick who won a World Series ring with the Chicago Cubs, was found dead in a Phoenix home, police said Wednesday.

West Ham hired Graham Potter as the coach on Thursday, 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.
