West Ham United have officially confirmed the departure of head coach Graham Potter following a string of poor performances and underwhelming results in the second half of last season and at the start of the 2025/26 campaign.

In a statement released on Friday, the club cited the need for "immediate improvements" to their position in the Premier League as the primary reason behind the decision.

West Ham have already begun the search for a new permanent manager, though no official names or candidates have been announced at this stage.

As it stands, the Hammers sit 19th in the Premier League table, with just three points from their opening five fixtures. Their next match is a tough away clash against Everton on Monday.
