The Evening Standard recently revealed that West Ham United's coaching staff are facing an earthquake. Porter, the famous manager who has been idle since his dismissal from Chelsea last April, is quietly approaching the throne of the Premier League club. The rumor was a bombshell, stirring up passionate interest from fans and media alike.
Lopetegui, the manager of West Ham United, has been under a mountain of pressure since taking over. His managerial performance has fallen far short of expectations, with the team struggling at 14th place in the Premier League table, with only 6 wins in 20 matches. If Potter takes over, Lopetegui's West Ham United tenure could last only six months.
Potter's love affair with West Ham United seems to have been a long time coming. Potter's name has been closely linked with the Hammers since the departure of David Moyes last summer. And a photo circulating on social media of Potter meeting with West Ham United's technical director Tim Steaden has added fuel to the fire, adding to the possibility of Potter taking charge of West Ham United.
David Sullivan, the chairman of West Ham United FC, has been looking for a management change in the face of the team's recent woes. He favors coaches with Premier League coaching experience, and Potter is the ideal candidate in his mind. If the two men hit it off, Potter is expected to be the new manager of West Ham United, leading the team out of the doldrums and revitalizing the team.
