Wednesday, November 4, 2026 - Championship club, West Ham United have sacked head coach Nuno Espírito Santo after their disappointing start to the season.
The 52-year-old has been in charge since September 2025 and
oversaw the Hammers' relegation from the Premier League last season.
Despite being seen as favourites for automatic promotion,
the London side are currently eighth in the table, six points behind leaders
Middlesbrough. They have won two of their last six games and have lost
back-to-back home matches - going down 3-2 to Southampton and then 3-1 to West
Bromwich Albion on Saturday - losses that have seen them drop down from second
place.
Assistant head coach Rui Pedro Silva and goalkeeper coach
Rui Barbosa have also left the club.
Mark Noble, Steve Potts and Gerard Prenderville will take
temporary charge of the side for their Championship trip to Cardiff City on
Wednesday night.
"Following a thorough review of the start to the EFL
Championship season, the board of directors believe that a change is necessary
at this time in order to ensure that the club's objectives and expectations
remain on track," a West Ham United statement read.
"West Ham United would like to thank Nuno, Rui and Rui
for their hard work and commitment during their time at the Club, and wish them
all the very best for the future.
"The process of recruiting a new head coach is already
under way."
