West Ham appoint Nuno Espirito Santo as new head coach after sacking Graham Potter

West Ham have confirmed the appointment of Nuno Espirito Santo as their new head coach after sacking Graham Potter.

Nuno returns to the Premier League just 18 days after being axed by Nottingham Forest and has signed a three-year deal at the London Stadium.

He takes over a troubled side that sits second-bottom in the Premier League and will be in the dugout for the trip to Everton, live on Monday Night Football.

Nuno led Nottingham Forest to European qualification via a seventh-place Premier League finish and the FA Cup semi-finals last season, but was sacked earlier this month after a public fall-out with owner Evangelos Marinakis.

"I am very pleased to be here and very proud to be representing West Ham United," Nuno said. "My objective is to work hard to get the very best from the team and ensure that we are as competitive as we possibly can be. The work has already started and I am looking forward to the challenge that is ahead."
