Next West Ham Manager Odds: Graham Potter On Pole To Replace Julen Lopetegui

Just when it looked as though West Ham were turning a corner with a 2-1 win at home to Manchester United, the Hammers suffered their second loss in three league games, losing 3-0 at Nottingham Forest.

The pressure is back on Julen Lopetegui, whose side are 14th in the table ahead of this weekend's game with Everton at the London Stadium.

It's the last game before the third international break, which is a time for struggling managers to be concerned for their future.

The best betting sites continue to monitor Lopetegui's situation closely, updating their odds on his replacement on a regular basis.

West Ham supporters wanted a change of manager at the end of last season and they got their wish when David Moyes left. 

Moyes guided the Hammers to their first trophy in 43 years, when West Ham beat Fiorentina to win the Europa Conference League in Prague in May 2023. 

Lopetegui signed a two-year contract when he replaced Moyes, which suggests it would not be as costly as usual for West Ham to relieve him of his duties. 

However, the latest odds do not look good for the Spaniard to see out his contract. So, who could be next in line for the West Ham hot-seat, which has only ever had 17 permanent occupants? 

Let’s see what the football betting sites reckon.

Potter Early Favourite For Hammers Job

Graham Potter has been out of work for 18 months and appears to be waiting for the right opportunity before returning. 

He is the 7/4 favourite for the West Ham job with betting apps should Lopetegui be given the heave-ho.

It is not hard to see why West Ham would be attracted to Potter. He did a fantastic job at Brighton and he likes his teams to play attractive, entertaining football. Things did not go well at Chelsea, but Potter remains a fine coach.

Next West Ham Manager Odds

Could Edin Be Heading To London?

After guiding Dortmund to the final of last season's Champions League final, former Dortmund manager Edin Terzic is taking a break from management. 

The 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid at Wembley was almost six months ago, and the German does not seem to be in a rush to get back to work.

It's going to take a great opportunity to get the 42-year-old back in the game, and managing the Hammers in the Premier League could be that chance. Terzic is 7/4 to replace Lopetegui. 

Southgate Could Be Offered Route Back In

It will be interesting to see where Gareth Southgate ends up after calling time on his England tenure after Euro 2024. 

He has not managed a club since a spell at the helm of Middlesbrough ended in 2009, but Southgate’s reputation rose after eight years with the national team.

West Ham could be an option. Southgate is unlikely to land a role with one of the big six, but he would back himself to be in the mix for a job like this one. 

You can find odds of 2/1 on Southgate succeeding Lopetegui.

Ten Hag Has Unfinished Business

Erik ten Hag's time in charge of Manchester United came to an end days after their 2-1 loss at West Ham, ironically enough. 

The Dutchman was criticised for his style of play, or lack of it, but he can point to winning the League Cup in his first season and the FA Cup in May to remind people of his achievements at Old Trafford. 

However, his league form was not good enough as United finished eighth last season, their lowest position in the Premier League era. 

Ten Hag is 9/4 to become West Ham's next manager.

Corberan Doing Fine Job At Hawthorns

At the rate he is going, it is only a matter of time before Carlos Corberan is a Premier League manager. 

He took Huddersfield to the Championship play-off final against the odds and is currently leading West Brom’s charge in the second tier.

West Ham are priced at 5/2 to appoint Corberan, whose West Brom team are currently battling at the top end of the Championship. 

The 41-year-old would no doubt be tempted by an offer from a club with European aspirations like West Ham.

Rodgers Would Be Hard To Attract

Brendan Rodgers once left Celtic for a Premier League job when he jumped ship to Leicester, but he is unlikely to do the same thing again having returned to Parkhead for a second spell.

Celtic are favourites to win another Scottish Premiership title this term, will have hopes of reaching the knockout stage of the Champions League.

Rodgers seems to be committed to the Hoops for the time being, although he is priced at 7/2 to join West Ham.

New British Link For Knutsen 

Kjetil Knutsen has been linked with several jobs in England and Scotland over the last few years, but he is still at Bodo/Glimt. 

The 55-year-old Norwegian has done a brilliant job with the Norwegian club over the last six years, winning three league titles and progressing in Europe.

Knutsen would be an interesting, if risky, choice for West Ham. He is priced at 4/1 to move to the London Stadium.

Conceicao Is Available If Hammers Want Him

One Portuguese manager made the headlines in the Premier League, when Ruben Amorim was named as Manchester United's next manager. Could Sergio Conceicao follow suit?

Conceicao has been linked to a number of vacancies in recent months and there is a feeling that it is only a matter of time before he joins a Premier League club. 

The former Porto, Lazio and Inter winger turns 50 on November 15 and he might be getting a call from the Hammers about a possible vacancy. Conceicao is 11/2 to be West Ham's next manager. 

Other names in consideration include Rafael Benitez (6/1), Jose Mourinho (8/1) and former players Michael Carrick (10/1) and Mark Noble (18/1).
