West Ham Replace Graham Potter With Nuno Espirito Santo on Three-Year Deal

The former Wolves and Nottingham Forest manager takes over immediately with his debut expected at Everton on Monday.

Overview

  • West Ham confirmed Potter's dismissal after a run of four defeats in five league games that left the club 19th and out of the League Cup.
  • The board said results and performances had not matched expectations and removed Potter's entire backroom staff with immediate effect.
  • Nuno signed a three-year contract and, according to the club, will be in the dugout at Everton two days after his appointment.
  • Potter won six of 25 matches since January, while West Ham have conceded a league-high 13 goals in five games this season.
  • Nuno returns to the Premier League after leaving Forest on September 9 following a breakdown with the hierarchy, having led them to seventh and European qualification last season and previously impressed at Wolves.
