West Ham’s last major trophy was winning the FA Cup back in 1980 but they also won the Intertoto Cup in 1999.
Six managers have taken charge of the club since 2015, including a double stint from David Moyes.
Graham Potter is the current manager of West Ham United. As a player, he was a left-back, making 307 appearances, including a stint in the Premier League with Southampton. He also earned one cap for the England U21 national team.
Transitioning into management, Potter’s career began with Swedish club Östersund in 2011, where he had a lot of success, including promotions and a Svenska Cupen victory. He later managed Swansea City and Brighton & Hove Albion. In September 2022, he was appointed head coach of Chelsea but was dismissed in April 2023 after a series of poor results.
After a 21-month spell away from management, Potter was appointed as the new head coach of West Ham United on 9th January 2025, signing a two-and-a-half-year contract. He replaced Julen Lopetegui, who was dismissed after a series of poor performances left the team 14th in the Premier League. Upon joining the Hammers, Potter stated “It’s a proud day to be head coach of this amazing club, big tradition, big history, big expectations, big challenge.“
Potter expressed that he waited for the right opportunity during his time away from management, feeling that West Ham was a good fit for him.
Joining him at West Ham are key members of his coaching staff, including former Stoke City manager Narcis Pelach as a first-team coach, Bruno Saltor as his assistant, and Billy Reid as a first-team coach.
