West Ham United are on the verge of sacking Nuno Espirito Santo. That reports Sky Sports. The West Ham United manager will probably have one more game to save his own skin.
The experienced Espirito Santo joined West Ham at the end of September, but cannot get it going in London. A new low followed on Saturday. The match against Premier League bottom Wolverhampton Wanderers was lost 3-0 without a chance.
‘Nuno Espirito Santo is on the verge of being fired from West Ham,’ writes Sky Sports one day after that sledgehammer blow. ‘He is expected to get one more game, against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday. That seems to be a decisive match for him.’
It is very striking that Espirito Santo has to fight for his job against Forest, of all people. The Portuguese trainer started this season as coach of The Tricky Treeswhere he performed so well last year. After a few mediocre weeks he was fired. If that also happens at West Ham, Espirito Santo would swallow two congés in four months.
