West Ham United have started this Premier League season on a disappointing note following three defeats in the first four matches. The latest defeat suffered by the Hammers was against Thomas Frank's Tottenham Hotspur, with a 3-0 scoreline. Graham Potter, the club manager, is under tremendous pressure due to the results, and with the availability of big names in the market, his time at the club could be limited.
The Portuguese international manager Nuno Espirito Santo is now available in the market after being released by Nottingham Forest following the commencement of the 2025-26 season. Nuno reportedly had a breakdown in relations with the owner of Nottingham Forest, Evangelos Marinakis. Forest hired the Australian coach Ange Postecoglu following the departure of Espirito Santo from the club. West Ham are considering him as a potential option to lead the team following the poor form of the Hammers under Potter, as per the journalist Alex Nixon.
West Ham United have managed to register just three points in Premier League in one month
The board of West Ham United reportedly appreciate the quality of Nuno Espirito Santo and might be tempted for the free agent considering the current form of the club. Following his arrival from Chelsea, Potter has been facing a lot of criticism from the fans due to lack of progress shown by the team, which has currently placed them on the 18th position in the Premier League with just three points on the table.
This is where the expertise of Nuno Espirito Santo could come into picture as he is renowned for stabilising a team and creating much needed discipline inside the players. The best achievements of Nuno Espirito Santo as manager include finishing in seventh place with a developing Wolves side and also guiding Nottingham Forest to a Europa League spot this season.
