West Ham Parts Ways with Manager Nuno Espirito Santo
Tuesday, November 3, 2026 · 1 day ago
West Ham United has parted ways with manager Nuno Espirito Santo due to the team's poor performance in the season so far.
The team, which was relegated from the Premier League last season, was considered a top contender to bounce back to the top flight immediately, but their ambitions have been hindered by a challenging start.
According to sources, David Sullivan, the club's largest shareholder, had been wanting to part ways with Nuno since the team's relegation, and he has now finally made the decision to let him go.
West Ham has struggled in 10 of their 16 matches this season, conceding 18 goals in 13 games and trailing league leaders Middlesbrough by six points.
Despite their shortcomings, West Ham has scored more goals than any other team in the Championship with 33, and they possess the only unbeaten away record in the league with three wins and three draws from their six road trips.
The London Stadium crowd has become increasingly frustrated with Nuno, with fans calling for his dismissal for several weeks as the team's performance continued to decline.
During the 3-1 defeat against West Brom, supporters were heard chanting "Sacked in the morning," and those chants have now been proven true.
