West Ham have parted ways with Graham Potter after a poor run of results in the Premier League.
He was sacked on Saturday morning and replaced by former Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo as head coach.
Nuno, 51, has signed a three-year contract with the Hammers and will take charge of his first match on Monday away at Everton in the Premier League.
After dismissing the 50-year-old, West Ham said they believed “a change is necessary in order to help improve the team’s position in the Premier League as soon as possible”.

They added: “Results and performances over the course of the second half of last season and the start of the 2025-26 season have not matched expectations.”
In a statement via the League Managers Association, Potter said: “I am incredibly disappointed to be leaving West Ham, particularly without being able to achieve what we set out to achieve at the start of our journey in east London.
“I do, however, fully acknowledge that the results have just not been good enough up to now.”
Nuno joins West Ham after being sacked on 9 September by Forest, who he guided to seventh in the Premier League last season, their highest finish since 1994-95.
