West Ham Sack Graham Potter, Appoint Nuno

News summary

West Ham United have sacked head coach Graham Potter after nine months in charge following a disastrous start to the 2025–26 season that left the club 19th with just three points from five Premier League games. The club confirmed Potter and several members of his backroom staff had left, saying results and performances since the second half of last season "have not matched expectations," and Potter issued a statement via the LMA saying he was "incredibly disappointed." Portuguese coach Nuno Espírito Santo has been appointed and — according to reports including Fabrizio Romano — has signed a contract to take charge immediately and is due to lead training ahead of Monday’s trip to Everton. The dismissal followed growing fan unrest and a run of heavy defeats, and Nuno, who has managed Wolverhampton Wanderers, Tottenham Hotspur, Al‑Ittihad (where he won the 2022/23 Saudi Pro League) and Nottingham Forest, will be tasked with stabilising West Ham’s Premier League form.
