Ex-Player Michael Carrick The New Favourite In Next West Ham Manager’s Market
The best betting sites in the UK are also suggesting that another Hammers fans favourite – Michael Carrick – is firmly in the running to be the next West Ham manager.
Carrick is currently in charge at Championship sides Middlesbrough and has caught the eye of several Premier League clubs.
The former midfielder played 136 times for West Ham back in the late 1990’s and early 2000.
Carrick was also part of Jose Mourinho’s coaching staff at Manchester United and also had a spell as caretaker manager when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer left in 2021.
He left United and was appointed Boro boss in October 2022, but after doing well could be ready to make the leap to a Premier League side.
West Ham have traditionally in the past also preferred a homegrown manager – which would be another plus for Carrick.
Could Graham Potter Join West Ham?
Of the rest, it seems that former Chelsea and Brighton manager Graham Potter is being linked with every club that has a manager under pressure.
Potter, who got a lucrative payout when he left Chelsea, has been dining out on this for the last year or so. But many feel he’s ready to step back into management soon.
He was sacked by the Blues in April 2023 having been in charge for 31 games. Losing 11 of these.
Commentary: sportscasting.com/uk spokesman Andy Newton, reacted to our ‘Next West Ham Manager Odds’ saying:
“Graham Potter will continue to get linked to any side that has a manager under pressure, but I’m not sure West Ham will be the right fit for the former Chelsea man.
“Should the Hammers decide to call time with current boss Julen Lopetegui, you feel that it could be time to turn to more of a fans favourite to win back the supporters.
“However, with Michael Carrick learning his trade at Boro and doing well, I’d not be shocked to see West Ham take more of a punt on their former player, who is also slightly better value in the market.
