West Ham United have parted ways with head coach Graham Potter following a disappointing run of form stretching from the second half of last season into the start of the 2025/26 campaign.
In a statement released by the club on Saturday, the club said results and performances “have not matched expectations” and confirmed the Board of Directors felt a change was necessary to improve the team’s Premier League position “as soon as possible.”
Potter’s departure also sees his backroom team leave the London Stadium.
The statement read, “Results and performances over the course of the second half of last season and the start of the 2025/26 season have not matched expectations, and the Board of Directors believe that a change is necessary in order to help improve the team’s position in the Premier League as soon as possible.
“The Club can confirm that Assistant Coach Bruno Saltor, First Team Coaches Billy Reid and Narcis Pelach, Lead Goalkeeper Coach Casper Ankergren, and Goalkeeper Coach Linus Kandolin have also left with immediate effect.”
The Hammers expressed gratitude to the outgoing staff, saying: “The Board would like to thank Graham and his coaching staff for their hard work during their time with the Hammers and wish them every success for the future.”
West Ham added that the process of appointing a new manager is already underway, though no further comment will be made until a successor is announced.
