Nuno Espirito Santo tore into his "poor" West Ham team as relegation fears grow after a damaging defeat to Brentford on Monday. The humiliating 2–0 loss at the London Stadium confirmed the Hammers' worst start to a campaign on home soil in the club’s history. After the game, a disappointed Nuno admitted that West Ham "have a problem" and said the performance was just "not good enough".

Under-fire Forest manager Ange Postecoglou launched into a passionate defence of his managerial career and believes he will never be accepted in England, despite his track-record of winning trophies. Postecoglou goes into Saturday's clash with Chelsea knowing another defeat could cost him his job, just weeks after taking over from the sacked Nuno Espirito Santo.

West Ham have confirmed the appointment of Nuno Espirito Santo as the club's new head coach, replacing Graham Potter just hours after the latter was sacked on Saturday. Nuno has agreed to personal terms with the east London club, and is expected to be officially unveiled as the Hammers new boss ahead of their Premier League clash with Everton on Monday. Potter was sacked after winning just six of his 25 games in charge.

West Ham have reportedly made a call on Graham Potter's potential sacking amid links with former Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo and Slaven Bilic. The Hammers are sitting in the Premier League relegation zone after a nightmare start to the new season and have also exited the Carabao Cup after a second round defeat to Wolves.

Nuno Espirito Santo is in line for an instant return to the Premier League, with a surprise club reportedly ready to swoop for the ex-Nottingham Forest boss. A breakdown in his working relationship with Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis led to Nuno being relieved of his managerial duties at the City Ground last week, with Ange Postecoglou swiftly drafted in as his replacement.
