West Ham have sacked manager Nuno Espirito Santo after a run of poor results left the club eighth in the Championship. The Hammers lost back-to-back home games, including a 3-1 defeat to West Brom, which proved to be the final straw. Scott Parker is expected to take over as head coach, with discussions at an advanced stage.
Parker, a former West Ham player with 129 appearances, has previously secured promotion to the Premier League with Fulham, Bournemouth and Burnley. The club stated a change was 'necessary' to keep objectives on track after just six wins from 13 matches. Mark Noble, Steve Potts and Gerard Prenderville will prepare the team for the upcoming trip to Cardiff.
West Ham sit four points off the automatic promotion spots, having been expected to return to the Premier League at the first attempt.
