West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo met with senior club officials to discuss his future following relegation to the Championship. The 51-year-old Portuguese coach, who signed a three-year deal in September 2019, refused to confirm whether he will remain at London Stadium after the Hammers' first top-flight drop since 2011.

The relegation ends West Ham's Premier League tenure despite showing improved form late in the season. Financial penalties will be severe, with the club facing an estimated £200m revenue loss while already reporting a £104m deficit in their latest accounts. Chairman David Sullivan and vice-chairman Daniel Kretinsky are expected to lead discussions about the rebuild.

Transfer speculation is intensifying, with midfielder Mateus Fernandes linked to Manchester United and captain Jarrod Bowen attracting interest from multiple Premier League clubs. Bowen declined to discuss his future after the final-day 3-0 victory over Leeds, describing the situation as "very, very raw" and suggesting talks about futures are disrespectful to the club.

Relegation marks a dramatic reversal for West Ham, who must now navigate managerial uncertainty while planning for Championship survival. The club faces the dual challenge of rebuilding quickly and managing significant financial constraints.
