West Ham Manager Nuno Seeks Fan Trust After Everton Draw

Nuno Espirito Santo has begun his tenure as West Ham manager with an emphasis on restoring trust and connection between the squad and their fans, following a 1-1 draw against Everton. The match saw Jarrod Bowen equalize after Everton's early lead, and fans praised Santo's decision to bring on young academy midfielder Freddie Potts, son of club assistant Steve Potts, who had been underutilized by former manager Graham Potter. Despite some fan chants against the board, Nuno acknowledged their support and committed to gradual tactical improvements while focusing on healing divisions within the club. The new manager's approach contrasts with Potter's, aiming for stability and fan engagement as key priorities. West Ham's recent struggles and player utilization under Potter have shifted under Santo, who is looking to build on his initial results and improve the team's cohesion both on and off the pitch. These efforts come as West Ham seeks to steady results in the Premier League and reconnect with their supporters.
