In the middle of the growing pressure on Graham Potter, West Ham United would have launched discreet talks exploring the return of Frank Lampard as a management successor.
According to Football Insider, the intermediaries close to the London outfit approached Lampard, currently managing Coventry City, as soon as before the surprising 3-0 victory of West Ham on Nottingham Forest.
Since he took the reins of Coventry City in November 2024, Lampard has orchestrated a notable resurgence. Upon arrival, the team seated dangerously near the bottom of the championship table.
Frank Lampard continues to impress at Coventry City
Quick advance until the end of last season, and he guided Coventry to an impressive fifth place.
His managerial rebirth extends in the new season while Coventry continues to challenge himself near the summit, suggesting that Lampard methods hit their stride.
On the other hand, Potter had a hard time having an impact on West Ham United.
The Hammers are 16th in the League with only three points from their first three games of the season.
Not only did they lose two games from their first three games of the season, but the manner of their defeats was disturbing for the faithful of West Ham.
A convincing defeat against Sunderland and Chelsea has shown that Potter’s work could be in trouble and if this is the situation, West Ham already has a replacement in mind.
Lampard could relaunch West Ham United
The Lampard connection with West Ham is deep. The former midfielder born in the east of London is a proud product of the famous club academy, which produced talents like Michael Carrick, Joe Cole, Rio Ferdinand and Lampard himself.
His return to the London stadium would not only be a management meeting, it is a symbolic return with an emotional resonance.
Lampard is currently attached to Coventry and their promotion aspirations. But with an increased interest in the Premier League and the prestige of a high -flying return, the timing could be ripe for Lampard to return under the spotlight.
Another former Chelsea manager is on the Hammers radar and Jose Mourinho recently separated from Fenerbahce.
