West Ham United have announced the appointment of Graham Potter as new head coach of the London club, on a two-and-a-half-year contract.

The English manager will be supported by the newly appointed trio of Bruno, the assistant coach, with Billy Reid and Narcís Pèlach as first-team coaches.

According to the club’s statement, 49-year-old Potter, who was Chelsea’s manager for seven months before he was sacked in April 2023, was the unanimous choice of the hierarchy, and will take charge of his new team for the first time on Friday when West Ham United visit Aston Villa in the third round of the English FA Cup.
