Nuno Espirito Santo faces an uncertain future at West Ham after the club's relegation from the Premier League. West Ham can terminate his contract without compensation due to relegation clauses, while the Portuguese manager also has the option to walk away. This follows Nuno's appointment last September following Graham Potter's sacking.

Despite relegation, West Ham achieved 39 points - the highest tally for a relegated side in 15 years. Nuno won 12 of his 37 matches at the London Stadium. The team's recent form was strong, collecting 19 points from their final 14 games - the eighth-best return in the division during that period. Nuno himself was sacked by Nottingham Forest just weeks before joining West Ham.

The relationship between Nuno and the club hierarchy appears strained, with Sky Sports' Lewis Jones suggesting it had reached "the end of the road long before the formalities." Gary Neville has urged the club to focus on retaining key players like Jarrod Bowen to stabilize the dressing room during their Championship campaign, noting West Ham's status as a big club with Premier League pedigree.
