West Ham United have dismissed Graham Potter following a poor run of results that left the club near the bottom of the Premier League. The decision came after a disappointing start to the season, with the Hammers collecting only three points from their opening fixtures and struggling defensively. His backroom staff were also relieved of their duties as the club opted for a complete reset in leadership.

In a swift move, the London side confirmed the appointment of Portuguese coach Nuno Espírito Santo as Potter’s successor. The former Wolves and Nottingham Forest manager has signed his contract and is set to begin work immediately, with his first training session scheduled to take place before the team’s upcoming match. His arrival signals the board’s intent to steady the club and restore confidence after weeks of mounting pressure from supporters.

Nuno brings Premier League experience and a reputation for organizing teams effectively, qualities West Ham believe are crucial at this stage. However, with the club’s recent managerial instability and ongoing fan frustration over transfers and performances, he faces a tough challenge to turn fortunes around. The Hammers’ hierarchy will hope his appointment marks the beginning of a more stable and successful era at the London Stadium.
