Jeden ze zdrojů stanici Sky Sports potvrdil, že Lopetegui opustí kormidlo, až se napevno najde nová náhrada. Finální dohoda s Potterem, bývalým koučem Brightonu nebo Chelsea, ale v současné chvíli není uzavřena. The Hammers prý nejsou domluveni ani s jiným kandidátem.
Potter je na volné noze od dubna 2023, přestože měl platný kontrakt na pět let. West Hamu s českými reprezentanty Tomášem Součkem a Vladimírem Coufalem patří v tabulce Premier League po 20 kolech až 14. příčka se sedmibodovým náskokem na sestupové pásmo.
Lopetegui se funkce na London Stadium ujal na konci loňského května. Pod jeho vedením se ale mužstvu nedaří útočit na pohárové příčky, ani se stabilně držet v klidném středu tabulky. Před ním velel lavičce David Moyes, který s Kladiváři v sezoně 2022/23 slavil triumf v Konferenční lize.
