West Ham Appoints Nuno Espírito Santo as Head Coach to Prevent Relegation

Nuno Espírito Santo has been appointed as the new head coach of West Ham United, tasked with rescuing the club from a relegation battle and instilling defensive solidity and counter-attacking prowess. Known for his successful spells at Wolverhampton Wanderers, Al-Ittihad, and Nottingham Forest, where he twice helped avoid relegation, Nuno brings valuable experience and a pragmatic approach to West Ham's talented squad. In his first game against Everton, his side showed resilience, earning a 1-1 draw, with Nuno praising the team's work rate and fan support despite having only two training sessions together. Notably, Nuno made a bold decision to exclude James Ward-Prowse from the matchday squad due to form issues, signaling his readiness to make tough calls to improve the team. In his initial interview, Nuno emphasized building strong foundations and bonds within the club and community, highlighting the importance of meeting supporters' expectations. The club's board acted swiftly to secure Nuno's appointment, reflecting ambition to turn around West Ham's fortunes.
