Nuno Espirito Santo to lead West Ham: bookmakers name the favorite.

According to The Sun: Former Nottingham Forest coach Nuno Espirito Santo is currently the leading candidate to replace Graham Potter as the head coach of West Ham.

Graham Potter, who is 50 years old, may be sacked after three consecutive home defeats in the derby.

Crystal Palace became the latest team to take three points at London Stadium, following Chelsea and Tottenham. Fans staged protests against the club management.

Before the match, fans organized protests, and after the game, they began to boo Potter, shouting: “You will be sacked in the morning.”

Nuno, who was recently dismissed by Nottingham Forest owners, is the favorite with 5/4 odds according to talkSPORT.

Interestingly, West Ham dealt a blow to Nuno's career, winning 3-0 against his team in his last match in charge.

Also on the horizon is former West Ham coach Slaven Bilic, who has 3/1 odds for a return.

The Croat was sacked in 2017 and has since managed Al-Ittihad, West Brom, Beijing Guoan, Watford, and most recently, Al-Fateh.

Among the possible candidates are also Gary O'Neil – 8/1, and Frank Lampard along with former England manager Gareth Southgate, Edin Terzic, and Kieran McKenna – all at 10/1.

Sean Dyche has 12/1 odds, while West Ham academy graduate Michael Carrick has 14/1.

After the match, Potter appeared resigned to his situation.

“Yes, I have no reason to think otherwise, but I also understand the situation and the results,” Potter said, responding to a question about support from the club.

“I can't complain about the support we've had and the support from the fans, everyone at the club,” he added.

“Of course, I believe I can turn this around. However, I also understand that it is difficult,” Potter noted.

“We are in a difficult situation, and it's hard not to notice that. The only thing to do is to approach this fairly and honestly,” he emphasized.

“We want to play better than we are currently, but right now we are not succeeding,” he added.

“I haven't heard any shouts against myself,” Potter said, commenting on the fans' chants.

“I understand the frustration; people have the right to their opinion,” the coach remarked.

The situation in the West Ham team is becoming increasingly tense as the pressure on coach Graham Potter grows with each match. Fans are demanding change, and it is quite likely that a coaching change operation could take place soon. In the event of a dismissal, Nuno Espirito Santo appears to be the most likely candidate for this position, which could lead to new opportunities for the team. At the same time, the club is also considering other options, indicating the seriousness of their intentions to improve results.
