West Ham sacked manager Julen Lopetegui on Wednesday after just 22 games in charge, with former Chelsea boss Graham Potter expected to replace him at the London Stadium
The Hammers are 14th in the Premier League table, seven points above the relegation zone, after just six wins in 20 league matches during the Spaniard’s tenure.
A 4-1 hammering at champions Manchester City on Saturday was the final straw for club chiefs.
“The first half of the 2024/25 season has not aligned with the club’s ambitions and the club has therefore taken action in line with its objectives,” West Ham said in a statement.
The statement added: “The board would like to thank Julen and his staff for their hard work during their time with the Hammers and wish them every success for the future.”
