Graham Potter is expected to replace Julen Lopetegui at one of Chelsea’s London rivals after Lopetegui was dismissed.
In a significant development within Premier League management, Graham Potter is poised to be announced as the new head coach of West Ham United following the dismissal of Julen Lopetegui. The decision to relieve Lopetegui of his duties was confirmed by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on X, stating, “BREAKING: Julen Lopetegui has been sacked by West Ham, confirmed. Graham Potter set to become the new head coach with contracts being checked.”
Potter, 49, has been without a managerial position since his tenure at Chelsea ended in 2023. His managerial acumen, previously showcased at Brighton & Hove Albion and Chelsea, has generated interest from multiple clubs; most notably, Everton, who are contemplating a managerial shift.
West Ham currently finds itself in a precarious position, sitting 14th in the league table with 23 points, merely seven points above the relegation zone. As Potter prepares to return to the capital, he will undoubtedly aim to stabilize the club and steer West Ham away from potential relegation, thus commencing a critical chapter in his managerial career.
The announcement of Potter’s appointment is eagerly anticipated as the Hammers seek to reclaim their competitive edge in the league.

Inter Miami, led by Messi, were unable to secure a victory against Al Ahly in their initial match.
Inter Miami and Al Ahly played to a scoreless draw in the opening match of the 2025 Club World Cup. The match, held at Hard Rock Stadium, saw Al Ahly begin strongly, but Inter Miami’s goalkeeper, Oscar Ustari, proved to be a formidable barrier. Ustari notably saved Trezeguet’s first-half penalty, denying the Egyptian side an early lead. Lionel Messi showed flashes of brilliance in the second half, but Al Ahly’s goalkeeper, El Shenawy, thwarted Inter Miami’s attempts to score. Both teams will continue their Club World Cup campaign on June 19, with Inter Miami facing Porto and Al Ahly playing against Palmeiras.
Recent reports from within Galatasaray, courtesy of Ali Naci Küçük, shed light on the conditions set by Victor Osimhen regarding his potential continued presence at the club. Apparently, Osimhen seeks assurance of a strengthened squad, exemplified by the acquisition of high-caliber players.
Küçük revealed that the recent signing of Leroy Sané from Bayern Munich was, in fact, a strategic move to satisfy Osimhen’s demands. Sané’s imminent arrival, on a 3-year deal, underscores Galatasaray’s ambition to build a competitive team. The club has reportedly offered Osimhen a substantial €14 million salary, inclusive of bonuses, as they endeavor to retain the prolific striker who previously scored 37 goals in 41 appearances during a loan spell.
Osimhen, however, remains deliberate in his decision-making process, urging patience. Galatasaray’s management is seemingly amenable to Osimhen’s requests, acknowledging the necessity of a strong team to secure his commitment.
