West Ham have sacked their manager, Graham Potter, after a poor run of results for the club.
Potter was only appointed in January to replace Julen Lopetegui as head coach on a two-and-a-half-year contract.
In a statement, the club said: “West Ham United can confirm that Head Coach Graham Potter has left the Club.
“Results and performances over the course of the second half of last season and the start of the 2025/26 season have not matched expectations, and the Board of Directors believe that a change is necessary in order to help improve the team’s position in the Premier League as soon as possible.”
The sacking comes as West Ham prepare to face former manager David Moyes’ Everton away on Monday night.
The Hammers’ tough start to the 2025/26 campaign has seen them pick up just three points in their opening five games, with their four losses and sole win against Nottingham Forest leaving the side 19th in the league, above only winless Wolves.
Potter was sacked after winning just six of 23 Premier League games, with his side finishing 14th last season.
