"Graham Potter remains under a lot of pressure as West Ham manager, following a difficult start to the 2025-26 season. A number of candidates have been linked with replacing him at the London Stadium, and one of them is Frank Lampard. Lampard has had a excellent time of things since taking over at Championship side Coventry, but he could now be set for a return to the Premier League with West Ham, whom he started his playing career with."
"There's been links with Lampard which seems highly unlikely due to the feeling between the West Ham fans and Lampard after his departure from West Ham as a player. I think if West Ham do decide to pull the trigger on Potter and look for a change, they'll need to find somebody who can galvanise the fan base right now because that's another big issue."
"Potter's not been able to do that, you've got protests going on and there's real unrest at West Ham whether it be the team on the bitch or the board. So it's going to be a big job for Potter if he is going to turn things around, but for now he does still have the backing of the board."
Graham Potter remains under a lot of pressure at West Ham following a difficult start to the 2025-26 season. Several candidates have been linked as potential replacements, including Frank Lampard, who has enjoyed strong results at Championship side Coventry. Lampard is considered unlikely due to strained feelings between West Ham fans and Lampard after his departure as a player. West Ham are researching managerial alternatives and would likely seek someone capable of galvanising the supporter base amid protests and unrest. Potter has not yet united fans, but the board currently continues to back him. Nuno Espirito Santo is reported to be on the shortlist.
