West Ham Sack Potter and Appoint Nuno Espirito Santo on Three-Year Deal

The Hammers turned to the former Forest and Wolves boss to arrest a slide toward the relegation places.

Overview

  • Nuno Espirito Santo has signed a three-year contract and will take charge immediately, with his first match at Everton on Monday.
  • West Ham cited results and performances not meeting expectations after four defeats in five league games and an early League Cup exit.
  • Potter leaves after six wins in 25 matches since January, with West Ham 19th in the table and a league-worst 13 goals conceded in five games.
  • The club confirmed the departures of assistants Bruno Saltor, Billy Reid, Narcis Pelach, lead goalkeeper coach Casper Ankergren, and goalkeeper coach Linus Kandolin.
  • Nuno left Nottingham Forest on September 9 following a breakdown with the hierarchy, having guided them to seventh last season, and now faces a tough run that includes Arsenal away after Everton.
