New West Ham head coach Graham Potter says the job "felt right" for him.

After being announced as the new Hammers boss on Thursday morning, he said: "It was important to me that I waited until a job came along that I felt was right for me – and equally that I was the right fit for the club I am joining. That is the feeling I have with West Ham United."

The former Chelsea and Brighton boss added: "The club have made a lot of good progress in recent years and ensured there are some very strong foundations in place to build on.

"You don't win a European trophy by fluke – there has to be a good bedrock at a football club for that to happen and the challenge now is to take that on and build the next steps, to develop a team and a club that the supporters can be proud of."
