Nuno Espírito Santo has been appointed as the head coach of West Ham: contract details.

Change of coach at West Ham

According to The Sun: West Ham United decided to dismiss head coach Graham Potter two weeks ago after considering three candidates.

The new coach is former Tottenham and Wolverhampton manager Nuno Espírito Santo, who already held a training session on Saturday before the match against Everton on Monday.

Reasons for dismissal and new negotiations

After an unsuccessful match against Tottenham, where the team lost 0-3 at home, management decided to dismiss Potter. Following this, negotiations began with Nuno Espírito Santo, who was dismissed from Nottingham Forest on September 9.

Initially, the Portuguese was hesitant to accept the offer due to financial controversy with Nottingham regarding compensation. This gave an opportunity to talk to Gary O'Neil, a former West Ham player, who also intended to take this position.

Final decision and Potter's reaction

The final decision to appoint Nuno was made possible after reaching an agreement with Nottingham late on Friday, which led to Potter's dismissal.According to SunSport, Porter was aware of his inevitable dismissal 'for several days' before its official announcement. He was informed about it after a press conference where he appeared calm.

Potter's coaching staff, including Bruno Saltora and others, also left the club. Nuno, in turn, plans to build his team in London.

This coaching change at West Ham has become an important step for the club, which aims to improve its performance this season. The appointment of Nuno Espírito Santo opens up new opportunities for the team, given his previous experience in English clubs. Fans hope that the new coach will be able to bring the team back to winning ways, especially after recent poor performances.
