West Ham will dismiss Lopetegui: They already have their replacement in sight.

West Ham United will make an important decision this week: to dismiss Julen Lopetegui and appoint Graham Potter as their new coach. Despite having taken on the role just eight months ago, Lopetegui's time at the club has been marked by unsatisfactory results, hastening his departure. The team, currently in 14th place in the Premier League, has failed to meet expectations, and the 4-1 defeat to Manchester City was the last straw.

West Ham's decision to part ways with Lopetegui was not surprising, given the team's poor performance in the league. With only six wins in 20 matches, the club has been unable to find the necessary consistency to compete at the top. Pressure on the coach has increased significantly, leading the board to seek alternatives in the coaching market.

Graham Potter, the chosen coach to replace Lopetegui

Graham Potter, former Chelsea coach with a successful spell at Brighton, is emerging as the leading candidate to succeed Lopetegui. According to various sources, discussions between the ex-"Blues" coach and the West Ham board have already begun. Potter's experience, characterized by a balanced and attractive style of play, could be key to returning the club to the path of victory.

If Potter takes on the role, he could be the key to revitalizing West Ham and improving their position in the table, offering a fresh and promising tactical approach that would excite the club's supporters.
