Pundit suggests 49-year-old manager is ‘waiting’ for West Ham role
Jamie O’Hara suggests Graham Potter is eyeing the West Ham United managerial role as Julen Lopetegui's successor.
West Ham suffered a heavy 5-2 defeat to Arsenal in the Premier League yesterday, leaving manager Julen Lopetegui under immense pressure.
The Hammers’ start to the season has been underwhelming, and speculation suggests the manager’s position is in jeopardy.
Speaking on talkSPORT on 30 November (7:13 pm), Jamie O’Hara said: “[Graham Potter] keeps turning down every job that he gets asked for, so maybe he is waiting for the West Ham one.”
Graham Potter has been linked with a potential move to the London club, raising questions about whether the Hammers will approach the former Chelsea manager.
Despite a disappointing stint at Chelsea, Potter demonstrated his managerial capabilities during his time with Brighton, where he earned significant praise for his work in the Premier League.
Potter could be a strong candidate for the role, given his proven ability to maximize squad potential.
West Ham boasts a talented roster, but Lopetegui has struggled to extract consistent performances from his players.
A managerial change might help unlock the team’s full potential, and Potter’s leadership could provide the turnaround they need.
West Ham entered the season with hopes of securing European football, but they find themselves battling relegation instead.
The second half of the season will be crucial, and decisive action may be required to rejuvenate their campaign.
The Hammers possess the quality to perform at a much higher level, and the players will be eager to prove themselves.
Appointing a manager of Potter’s caliber could inspire a resurgence.
For West Ham’s leadership, time is of the essence if they are to salvage their season and steer clear of the relegation zone.
