The futures of Everton and West Ham managers Sean Dyche and Julen Lopetegui are expected to be developed in the next 24 hours, with Graham Potter in talks with both clubs.

Neither club wants to change managers and hope to reassess their respective situations in the summer.

But poor results and growing hostility from some supporters are forcing the hierarchy at West Ham and Everton to rethink, with some urgency, as relations between the two sides have been damaged.

Potter is high on the list of potential replacements for Dyche and Lopetegui. The fact that he is unemployed, available, and in no need of compensation is all the more beneficial to him.

The 49-year-old has met with senior officials from both clubs on a number of occasions in recent months and held talks with West Ham officials on Monday.

Lopetegui and Dyche both arrived at their respective training grounds on Tuesday morning.

The respective management situations at the London Stadium and Goodison Park are expected to progress rapidly over the next 24 hours.

Further talks are expected to take place between the parties and Porter, who will drive a hard bargain with both clubs knowing he has the ability to choose between the two – or neither.

Potter has decided to take his time choosing his next role, which he feels is a crucial decision after the crushing disappointment at Stamford Bridge.

He has been out of work for more than 18 months since being sacked by Chelsea in April 2023 and is determined to review his performances after suffering the first truly major setback in a career that has seen him continue to rise. .

Financially, Potter was also in no rush to find a new job, as he was entitled to a generous severance package from Chelsea, which sustained him long after he was sacked.

Nonetheless, he has been preparing for a return to football for months and has been actively considering his options.

West Ham United currently has 6 wins in 20 games and ranks 14th in the Premier League. Everton has 3 wins in 20 games and has 17 points, 1 point above the relegation zone.

Carla: Porter joining West Ham would be good for both parties

sky sports Pundit Jamie Carragher believes West Ham United could finally get the manager Lopetegui they believe they deserve if Potter is appointed.

talking about monday night football“, he said: “The whole reason they left David Moyes was actually not the result itself – last season was not good and they have had better seasons. Overall, Moyes has done a great job at West Ham United. But I always felt West Ham wanted their ‘Roberto De Zerbi’, someone who came in and played some fantastic football.

“But don’t forget, it all started with Graham Potter, who was the successor to Chris Hughton, who was a different type of manager and they (Brighton) wanted To change things. West Ham United want to change things, to be a team on the leading foot and hand the game to their opponents.

“We know Potter can do that. If he can unlock some of the attacking talent that West Ham have, it would be a good move for both sides if the deal goes through.”

Asked whether he would choose West Ham or Everton if he were in Potter’s shoes, Carragher said he would lean towards the Hammers.

“I think Everton are a bigger club than West Ham. It’s probably just me going back to my childhood and seeing them win trophies and West Ham didn’t really win too much.

“Everton have been very poor over the last ten years, West Ham have won European trophies, they are in London and have the Olympic Stadium.

“I think it’s more of a 50-50 decision now. Maybe now you’d lean more towards West Ham because they have a better chance of staying in the Premier League.”

“I actually think Potter would choose West Ham over Everton, I say it’s 50-50, which is probably really sad because in my opinion Everton are a better club than West Ham. Big club.”
