Graham Potter leaves West Ham after the start of the Premier League

Graham Potter left his position as coach of the West Ham team.

Boss Chelsea, Brighton, and the former Albion were subjected to great pressure after a bleak start for the new English Premier League season, which witnessed only three points from their five opening matches.

Potter took a week of training and press conference on Friday before a clash on Monday with Everton on Mercyside.

But he will not be responsible for that match after the club confirmed that the period that started in January has ended.

The club’s statement read: “West Ham United can confirm that the main coach Graham Potter has left the club.

“Results and offers over the second half of last season and the beginning of the 2025-26 season did not correspond to expectations, and the board of directors believes that the change is necessary to help improve the team’s position in the Premier League as soon as possible.

“The club can confirm that the assistant coach Bruno Soltor, the coach of the first team, Billy Reed, Naris Bilsh, goalkeeper coach Kasper Anserin, and goalkeeper coach Lennus Kandolin has also left an immediate effect.

“The Board of Directors would like to thank Graham and its training staff for their hard work during their period with the hammers and wish them all success in the future.

“The process of appointing an ongoing alternative. The club will not provide any other comment at this time.”

West Ham’s summary in Potter

Potter’s time ended in West Ham Boss after only 261 days, and participated in a few precious victories.

Potter managed to win only six of 25 matches in responsibility, which is a 3-1 victory in Nottingham Forest last month to prove his last victory.
