The results did not live up to expectations, writes the London club further on its website regarding Potter being let go.
According to The Athletic, the player squad was informed earlier on Saturday. The news is said to have taken several players by surprise, not least considering the timing as West Ham meet Everton in two days.
Graham Potter's dismissal will have consequences for the leadership staff. Assistant coach Bruno Saltor, the coaching duo Billy Reid and Narcis Pelach, as well as goalkeeper coach Casper Ankergren and his Swedish colleague Linus Kandolin, will leave West Ham with immediate effect.
The 50-year-old Potter is a Swedish acquaintance who made a success with Östersunds FK between 2011 and 2018. After that, the Englishman has been in charge of clubs such as Swansea, Brighton, and Chelsea.
It will be the former Nottingham coach Nuno Espirito Santo who takes over the coaching job. He will lead the team in the next match against Everton.
I am very happy to be here and very proud to represent West Ham. My goal is to work hard to get the very best out of the team and ensure that we are as competitive as possible. The work has already begun and I look forward to the challenge that lies ahead of me, he says on the club's website.
West Ham is second to last in the Premier League table.
