West Ham United have relieved Nuno Espírito Santo of his duties following a disappointing start to the 2024-25 Championship campaign. The Hammers suffered a 3-1 defeat to West Bromwich Albion, leaving them in eighth place, having been relegated from the Premier League last season. Following a thorough review, the board of directors determined a change was necessary to ensure the club's objectives remain on track.
Nuno, who oversaw the relegation, was charged with taking the club back up but was four points shy of the automatic promotion spots. The process of recruiting a new head coach is already underway. Mark Noble, Steve Potts, and Gerard Prenderville will take temporary charge ahead of the away trip to Cardiff City.
Assistant head coach Rui Pedro Silva and goalkeeper coach Rui Barbosa have also departed the club. West Ham thanked Nuno, Rui, and Rui for their hard work and commitment during their time at the club and wish them the best for the future.
