In a decisive move reflecting the pressures of modern football management, West Ham United have dismissed head coach Graham Potter along with his entire coaching staff following a prolonged period of unsatisfactory results. The club's board concluded that a leadership change was necessary to reverse the team's declining fortunes in the Premier League.

Key Points:
  • West Ham terminate Graham Potter's contract after poor results spanning two seasons
  • Entire coaching staff including assistant Bruno Saltor also depart immediately
  • Club cites performances "not matching expectations" as reason for dismissal
  • Decision aims to improve team's Premier League position "as soon as possible"
  • Search for new manager already underway according to club statement
  • Potter's tenure lasted less than a year following previous stint at Chelsea

This dismissal continues Potter's challenging period in English top-flight management since his successful spell at Brighton, highlighting the limited patience for underperformance at Premier League clubs.
