Karren Brady pushing for Graham Potter to become new West Ham boss
TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey understands that Brady, West Ham’s vice chairman, is pushing for Graham Potter to take charge of the club.
Potter ꧂has been out of work ever since he was let go by Chelsea in 2023, after overseeing🧸 31 games at Stamford Bridge.
Multiple factions are making their case for who should replace Lopetegui at W♒est Ham right now, and Brady is the one puಞshing for Potter.
Brady is good friends with the former Brighton & Hove Albion manager, who is also closely tied to💞 her husband.
On his part, West Ham technical director, Tim Steidten, who is under pressure himseꦰlf, is pushing f🔴or former Borussia Dortmund manager Edin Terzic to come in.
Lopetegui had hoped that he w𒁃ould be in charge for at least 🍸three more games, wanting to put things right against Crystal Palace and Fulham, however, he now won’t get that chance.
Graham Potter ready for his next job after Chelsea
Speaking to the back i꧑n September of last year, Potter admitted that 🌺he was ready for his next job, having been 17 months on from his Chelsea gig at the time.
The 49-yea💯r-old, who made his name managing Osterund in Sweden, admitted that he’d prefer to return as a club manager, given he was being linked with the England job at the 𝐆time.
Potter said: “It still has to be the right thing, but I’m excited for it. I’m excited to hear what the opportunities are and I’ll take eac🌺h one and judge it on its merits.
“In🤪ternational management is a different rhythm and there are pluses for that. It’s more intense when it’s on, but you’ve got a bit more breathing spac♔e in between.
“It’s nothing that I’ve ruled out, but at the same tim♕e I do like the day-to-day bit of working with the players and being in at the club and tryi🅺ng to build and make a difference.”
