While he has a stay of execution, Lopetegui will be worried about links to Potter.
Per The Mail, the former Chelsea and Brighton coach is the one West Ham want for the long-term.
The club are hoping that they can convince him to end his hiatus from the game.
Potter has not worked since he lost his job at Chelsea close to two years ago.
