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

The club cites unacceptable results in making a three-year appointment for Nuno.

Overview

  • Nuno agreed a three-year contract and will take charge for Monday’s match away to Everton, returning to the Premier League weeks after leaving Nottingham Forest.
  • West Ham are 19th with one win from five league games, 13 goals conceded and an early League Cup exit, which the board said did not meet expectations.
  • Potter departs nine months after his appointment with six wins in 25 matches, having been dismissed less than 24 hours after his regular pre-match press conference.
  • Assistant Bruno Saltor, first-team coaches Billy Reid and Narcís Pèlach, and goalkeeper coaches Casper Ankergren and Linus Kandolin have also left with immediate effect.
  • Nuno’s arrival follows his seventh-place finish with Forest last season and a subsequent fallout with owner Evangelos Marinakis, as supporter unrest over West Ham’s leadership continues.
