West Ham United is interested in hiring the former midfielder to replace Graham Potter

A report from Football Insider has sparked interest from the East London club. It claims that the club is considering Frank Lampard amid growing doubts about Graham Potter’s future. The Premier League season’s start at the London Stadium has not gone as smoothly as the board and fans had hoped.

The team has won just one of three matches and suffered two defeats. Consequently, management is seeking a young and dynamic head coach. They reportedly considered a number of candidates, with Lampard being singled out as a possible candidate.

West Ham United officials have reportedly held preliminary talks with Lampard. However, the former Chelsea star currently appears content with his position at Coventry City, given the Championship club’s recent progress.

Does West Ham United need him?

This speculation has sparked a heated debate over whether Frank Lampard can truly solve West Ham United’s current predicament. His previous managerial experience at the club may have captivated many fans, but his stints at Chelsea and Everton weren’t always smooth.

Graham Potter, on the other hand, faces a more nuanced situation, but his coaching style is undeniable. Potter relies on flexibility, frequently changing formations to confuse opponents and promote players capable of various roles.

In contrast, Lampard is more attacking. He often employs a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation, emphasizing wide pressing and rapid attacking play. His teams are passionate and aggressive, but often lack defensive solidity. Under Potter’s leadership, West Ham United has created numerous chances but has been unable to find the crucial finishing touches.

Notably, West Ham recently rejected an opportunity to sign Andre Onana and then attempted to bring in Raheem Sterling in the summer transfer window. Amidst all this, the discussion about Lampard becomes even more intriguing.

The question is whether the responsibility of stabilizing the club should be entrusted to a former England player, or whether Potter should be given more time to develop his strategy. We believe that rushing into anything could be detrimental and that giving Potter more opportunities might be the better option for West Ham United at this point in time.
