The future of Julen Lopetegui on the West Ham bench has been up in the air in recent weeks due to the team's inconsistent results in the Premier League. As reported by Daily Mail, the London club's board has already begun taking precautionary measures in case of a possible departure of the Spanish coach, with Graham Potter being the main candidate to take his place.

Potter, known for his work with Brighton and his brief stint at Chelsea, would have been contacted by the club before the recent match against Wolverhampton. This match was crucial for Lopetegui's continuity, as a defeat would have accelerated his exit. Although West Ham avoided an immediate crisis, the club's top brass continues to contemplate changes if performance does not improve in the coming matchdays.

The most solid option for the hammers' bench

The former Brighton coach is seen as a solid choice for the 'hammers' thanks to his dynamic style of play and ability to enhance squads with limited resources. Despite his inconsistent time at Chelsea, Potter enjoys a good reputation in England and would fit into West Ham's plans to establish themselves as a competitive team both domestically and in Europe.

For now, Lopetegui remains in charge, but his continuity will depend on results. Meanwhile, West Ham seems to have a clear idea of who their next leader will be in the event of a change in the dugout.
