West Ham United has appointed Nuno Espirito Santo as their new manager, replacing Graham Potter, who was sacked on September 27, 2025, after a disappointing start to the season. Potter’s tenure lasted only eight months, during which the team won just six of his 25 games in charge, leaving them 19th in the Premier League table.
Nuno Espirito Santo, the former Nottingham Forest boss, has agreed to personal terms and is expected to take charge of the team for their upcoming match against Everton on Monday. The 51-year-old Portuguese manager was dismissed as Forest boss on September 9, just three games into the season, but his experience and track record make him an attractive candidate to steer West Ham United back on course.
The appointment process was swift, with West Ham United moving quickly to secure Nuno’s services before other clubs could snap him up. The team’s vice-chairman, Karren Brady, was instrumental in spearheading the negotiations. Nuno is expected to conduct his first training session with the team imminently, marking the beginning of a new era at West Ham United.
With Nuno at the helm, West Ham United fans are hoping for a turnaround in fortunes, given his expertise in stabilizing teams and creating discipline among players. His appointment comes after a series of disappointing results under Potter, including a 2-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace, which proved to be his final game in charge.
