West Ham have reportedly made a call on Graham Potter's potential sacking amid links with former Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo and Slaven Bilic. The Hammers are sitting in the Premier League relegation zone after a nightmare start to the new season and have also exited the Carabao Cup after a second round defeat to Wolves.

According to , Potter will stay put at West Ham at least until the next international break as the club continues their search for the Englishman's replacement. The Hammers are scheduled to face Everton and Arsenal before the October break kicks in. There will be no change in the dugout before then, unless West Ham are humiliated when they travel to face the Toffees and former boss David Moyes this weekend.

Last week, reports emerged that West Ham have made contact with former Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo and ex-Hammers boss Slaven Bilic. Nuno, who parted ways with Forest this month due to a breakdown in his working relationship with owner Evangelos Marinakis, is being backed to make a comeback to the Premier League soon.
Potter's stay of execution won't last long
The report adds that in the next couple of weeks, West Ham owner David Sullivan will hold discussions with the club's hierarchy to assess their next steps. Potter's fate at London Stadium has essentially already been sealed, as he will only remain at the club until they find a new candidate to replace him.

Other than Nuno and Bilic, West Ham also have their eyes on Gary O'Neil, who has previously managed Bournemouth and Wolves in the English top flight. O'Neil also played for the Hammers between 2011 and 2013, and has been a free agent since being sacked by Wolves in December 2024.
