later to avoid facing the axe. The pressure on West Ham’s current manager, Graham Potter, has continued to mount due to the team’s lackluster performance, with only five wins in 22 games since his appointment in January. Despite recent signings aimed at strengthening the squad, Potter’s future at the club remains uncertain.
Former West Ham player Joe Cole has advocated for the appointment of Jose Mourinho as the next Hammers boss, citing the Portuguese coach’s winning mentality and character. Mourinho’s availability following his departure from Fenerbahce has fueled speculation linking him to the West Ham job, especially given the club’s struggles under Potter.
However, the response from the majority owner of West Ham, David Sullivan, through a club spokesman has been resolute in denying any potential move for Mourinho. The spokesman emphasized that Mourinho would not be considered for the managerial role at West Ham, underlining the club’s commitment to Potter despite ongoing challenges.
While Mourinho’s track record as a successful manager is undeniable, West Ham’s current leadership seems determined to support Potter and allow him the opportunity to work with the new signings and develop a competitive team. The club’s stance indicates a willingness to give Potter time to improve the team’s performance, even as external calls for managerial change persist.
