West Ham, Potter has signed: press conference tomorrow. He will return to Stamford Bridge on February 3

Graham Potter has signed the contract that will make him the new manager of West Ham United, as reported by Sky Sports News. West Ham have called a press conference for Thursday morning at 9am at the London Stadium.

Potter, who could lead the team in a difficult trip to Aston Villa in the FA Cup third round on Friday, is set to return to the bench 20 months after his sacking from Chelsea, after just seven months and 31 games despite a contract five-yearly. Five of the Hammers’ next seven Premier League games are London derbies, and in between is a return to Stamford Bridge: Potter faces his former club on February 3.
