Graham Potter says he is looking forward to a “big challenge” after being confirmed as the new West Ham manager.
The 49-year-old has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the London club, who sacked Julen Lopetegui on Wednesday after six months in charge.
“It’s a proud day to be head coach of this amazing club, big tradition, big history, big expectations, big challenge”, Potter said.
“I’m really excited, it’s a bit like Christmas – Christmas for the adults.
“I’m looking forward to meeting the players today, meeting our supporters and getting going”.
Potter takes over with the Hammers 14th in the Premier League – seven points above the relegation zone – with just six league wins to their name.
It is his first managerial position since being dismissed by Chelsea in April 2023.
