Football Club, West Ham are set to appoint former Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo as head coach after sacking Graham Potter.
Nuno is expected to be in place before Monday’s Premier League match against Everton, having said he has had positive talks with the West Ham board.
Potter was dismissed on Saturday morning after only eight months in charge, with the club 19th in the table.
The Hammers took only three points from their opening five league games this season under Potter.
West Ham said they believed “a change is necessary in order to help improve the team’s position in the Premier League as soon as possible”.
They added: “Results and performances over the course of the second half of last season and the start of the 2025-26 season have not matched expectations.”
In a statement via the League Managers Association, Potter said: “I am incredibly disappointed to be leaving West Ham, particularly without being able to achieve what we set out to achieve at the start of our journey in East London.
“I do, however, fully acknowledge that the results have just not been good enough up to now.”
