West Ham United is going through a moment of great uncertainty after a start to the season that has raised more doubts than certainties. The coach Graham Potter, who was chosen just a few months ago as the great bet to lead the London club, sees his project faltering after achieving only one victory in the first five league matches. Four consecutive defeats have set off all alarms, and the team is already in the relegation zone, a situation that the board is not willing to prolong.

Graham Potter is on the verge of leaving West Ham and there are already candidates for the bench

According to reports from 'The Guardian', the club's executives have started working on an alternative plan, with three names already in consideration to take over the bench in case Potter's tenure ends prematurely. The first of them is Nuno Espírito Santo, currently without a team after being dismissed from Nottingham Forest. His experience in the Premier League with Wolverhampton is one of the factors in his favor, along with his disciplined profile that could provide defensive solidity to a team that appears too fragile at the back.

The second candidate is a familiar face in London: Slaven Bilic. The Croatian previously managed the hammers during a period marked by his character and a dream season in which the team finished seventh. His return is an option favored by some of the fans due to the memories of that competitive and spirited West Ham, although others are cautious about reappointing a coach who was previously dismissed.

The third contender is Gary O’Neil, one of the revelations in English dugouts last season after saving Bournemouth and later taking on the challenge of a rebuilding Wolverhampton. His youth and ability to work with limited squads are qualities that convince the sports management, who believe his pragmatic style could be key to reversing the negative trend.

Meanwhile, Potter's position weakens with each passing game. His reputation, already tarnished from his failed tenure at Chelsea, has not been able to recover in this new challenge. The fans are starting to show impatience, and British media speculate that the upcoming matches will be decisive in determining his continuity.

If an immediate change in results is not achieved, West Ham will make a coaching change. The club does not want to risk being caught in a relegation battle throughout the season, which would have difficult sporting and economic consequences to bear.

It seems that the resolution is near. If the Londoners do not react in the short term, it will only be a matter of time before one of these three names, Nuno Espírito Santo, Slaven Bilic, or Gary O’Neil, takes on the mission to rescue the hammers from a crisis that threatens to ruin their objectives.
