West Ham Plan to Sack Nuno Espirito Santo: This Is When It Will Happen

West Ham United are reportedly on the brink of dismissing manager Nuno Espirito Santo following a humiliating 3-0 defeat to bottom-of-the-table Wolves, which has intensified the Hammers' relegation battle.[2]

The loss at Molineux on Saturday marked West Ham's ninth consecutive game without a victory, leaving them four points from Premier League safety in 18th place. Goals from Jhon Arias, Hwang Hee-Chan, and Mateus Mane secured a deserved win for the previously winless Wolves. Nuno, the former Wolves boss who was previously sacked by Nottingham Forest this season, described the performance as the worst of his career, admitting he felt "embarrassed" and apologizing to fans.[2]

"I have to apologise to the fans. It was embarrassing. There's not much I can say other than we are sorry... Today was the worst performance that we have had," Nuno stated, emphasizing the need for points to escape their dire situation. Appointed in September after Graham Potter's brief stint, Nuno headed straight down the tunnel post-match, fueling speculation about his future.[2]

Recent reports indicate Nuno is on the cusp of an exit amid major sack developments at the London Stadium. Despite claims from The Athletic that West Ham's board has no immediate plans to act, insiders predict the decision could come soon—potentially after the next fixture if results don't improve. The pressure is mounting, with relegation fears deepening and fan frustration boiling over.[1][3]

Nuno deflected questions about his job security, focusing instead on improvement: "It's not about my future, it's about how can we get out of this situation." However, with the team's form in freefall, West Ham's hierarchy appears poised to pull the trigger, eyeing a drastic change to salvage their season.[2]
