The 49-year-old Potter has been out of work since being sacked by Chelsea in April 2023.
Graham Potter is reportedly in talks with West Ham Former Brighton boss Potter, 49, has been out of work since April 2023 when he was sacked just 31 games into a five-year contract at Chelsea.
Lopetegui’s position looks under serious threat, while technical director Tim Steidten is staying away from the training ground as the club’s problems deepen.West Ham have declined to comment on the potential change of manager but did say Steidten, 45, is absent from their Rush Green base as he is focusing on the January transfer window.
But the situation has echoes of last season, when the German’s relationship with then boss David Moyes became strained towards the end of his tenure. Lopetegui’s role as Hammers head coach was plunged back into doubt following consecutive heavy Premier League defeats by Liverpool and Manchester City, while Steidten is a known admirer of Potter.Yet Steidten is also under the spotlight having led the club’s summer recruitment drive, which has so far proved a major disappointment.
The Hammers face a tough FA Cup third-round trip to Aston Villa on Friday before home league matches with London rivals Fulham and Crystal Palace.
