West Ham United not considering Graham Potter as Julen Lopetegui replacement

West Ham United have been linked with a move for the former Chelsea manager Graham Potter, but it will not materialise.

According to a report by Give Me Sport, West Ham United have now decided on a potential move for Graham Potter. The report states that the East London outfit are not considering the former Chelsea manager as a replacement for Julen Lopetegui anymore.

The Spanish manager is under a lot of pressure after a disappointing start to the season. West Ham backed him with multiple signings in the summer transfer window, and they were expected to push for European qualification while doing well in the domestic competitions. However, things have not gone according to plan so far.

The Hammers are struggling right now, and it will be interesting to see if they can get their system back on track. Lopetegui needs to turn things around if he wants to hold onto his job. The Spanish manager has not been able to live up to the expectations so far. Naturally, there have been links with potential replacements, including Graham Potter.

Potter will be desperate for a return

Graham Potter was reportedly a target for West Ham, but the Hammers are not keen on him anymore. It will be interesting to see if they decide to move for another manager in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, Potter is currently without a job since his departure from Chelsea.

The Englishman will look to get back to management as soon as possible, and the opportunity to manage a club like West Ham would have been attractive for him. He will look to prove himself in the English top flight once again.

The 49-year-old has impressed at Brighton before the move to Chelsea, and there is no doubt that he is good enough to manage in the Premier League. It will be interesting to see where the former Chelsea manager ends up eventually.
