West Ham Technical Director Departs

West Ham United's technical director Tim Steidten is leaving the club following the appointment of Graham Potter as the new manager. Potter, who recently took over from Julen Lopetegui, has brought in Kyle Macaulay as the head of recruitment, leading to Steidten's departure.

Strengthening their recruitment team has been a key focus for Potter, as he reunites with Macaulay, with whom he has previously worked at Ostersund, Swansea City, Brighton, and Chelsea. The club expressed gratitude for Steidten's contributions but stated that the change was necessary to align with Potter's vision.

During his tenure, Steidten played a significant role in the club's transfer activities, overseeing a substantial investment in new players. However, the team's performance under Lopetegui did not meet expectations, resulting in his dismissal. The club thanked Steidten for his efforts and wished him success in his future endeavors.
