The best betting sites have reopened their Next West Ham Manager betting market after the Hammers' latest defeat to Leicester - their seventh in 14 games this season - left them in 14th in the table. Julen Lopetegui came in this summer to replace David Moyes with the expectation that there would be some more attractive football on display, but they have struggled in the Premier League. 

It's been reported that the West Ham hierarchy have drawn up a list of three candidates to replace the beleaguered Spaniard. Former Brighton and Chelsea manager Graham Potter is sure to be high up on the list, while Sergio Conceicao and Edin Terzic have also been mentioned as possibilities.

Until news of Lopetegui's demise, betting apps will likely be keeping their powder dry, but it's not difficult to imagine Potter being among the favourites.

Football betting sites might also have the likes of Michael Carrick as a single-figure price, with the Middlesbrough manager having started his playing career at the London outfit and getting a real tune out of Boro at present.

Could Potter Return to Premier League with Hammers?

Graham Potter is likely to be trading at a short price on several manager markets with football betting sites, and that includes the West Ham position. The Englishman had a rollercoaster ride of a 2022/23 season, which saw his Brighton & Hove Albion side start the campaign strongly before he was effectively poached by Chelsea.

Despite a promising start where Potter guided the Blues into the knockout stage of the Champions League, the former Swansea City manager started to struggle at Stamford Bridge. However, we can't forget how well he was performing with the Seagulls, and perhaps West Ham would benefit from having a coach like him at the London Stadium. Potter has been out of a job since leaving Chelsea, but has spoken about being ready for a return in recent times.

Conceicao Could Be a Major Coup for Hammers

Sergio Conceicao is likely to be towards the top of many manager markets at new betting sites after leaving Porto in the summer. He won the Portuguese league three times along with five cup successes too. He comes with plenty of experience in Portugal and Europe and could be a good fit for a West Ham team hoping to play good football.

Carrick Prominent in West Ham Betting Market

It's clear that new UK betting sites respect Michael Carrick in their Next West Ham Manager betting market, and the former Hammers midfielder has done an impressive job at Middlesbrough since taking over. Despite it being his first proper managerial position, the 44-year-old got Boro into promotion contention before losing to Coventry in the Championship play-offs in his first season, and they fell just short of the play-offs last season.

It could be that West Ham are keeping a watching brief when it comes to Carrick, who has his Boro team contending once again. Now that he has been unable to achieve promotion with Middlesbrough twice, it might be that he's open to the prospect of taking charge at the London Stadium and the chance to cut his teeth in the top flight with this ambitious club.

Carrick has plenty of experience of working as part of various backroom teams at Manchester United, including with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Louis van Gaal. He is clearly respected within the game, and it wouldn't be a big surprise if West Ham made an approach for him.

Would Terzic Be Interested In Hammers Job?

Edin Terzic's managerial record only reads as two spells in charge of Borussia Dortmund, but he certainly made an impression in that time, particularly last season. He took Dortmund to the final of the Champions League, where they were only just second best to Real Madrid.

He left the team after that disappointment and could be an intriguing name to watch on the market when it opens.
