West Ham Nears Managerial Change Amid Poor Premier League Start

West Ham United is facing a managerial crisis amid a poor start to the season, with current head coach Graham Potter under intense pressure due to a string of defeats and defensive frailties. The club is considering several candidates to replace Potter, including former Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo, who is the favorite due to his prior success in the Premier League and Europa League qualifications. Other contenders include former West Ham player and manager Slaven Bilic, as well as Gary O'Neil, noted for his ability to develop players and familiarity with the club from his playing days. Additionally, Nuno Espirito Santo's recent dismissal from Forest and his tactical style reminiscent of former West Ham manager David Moyes make him a top candidate. West Ham also considered younger talents such as Kieran McKenna but appear to prefer more experienced managers. The leadership is expected to make a decision soon, especially if the team's poor form continues.
