West Ham United is considering replacing Graham Potter with Nuno Espirito Santo, who was sacked by Nottingham Forest just weeks ago. Potter’s position has been under threat after a poor start to the season, with the team managing only three points from four games and sitting 18th in the Premier League table. The 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur has further intensified the pressure on Potter, with fans planning protests against the board.
Potential Replacements for Graham Potter:
- Nuno Espirito Santo: Former Nottingham Forest manager with a strong track record of improving struggling teams. He’s eager to return to management and prioritizes landing a Premier League club.
- Kieran McKenna: Ipswich Town boss who has been linked with the West Ham job. However, getting him out of Ipswich might be challenging due to a “decent” compensation price.
- Frank Lampard: Former Chelsea manager who has impressed at Coventry City and emerged as a strong candidate for the Hammers job.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s appointment could be attractive to West Ham, given his experience and success in the Premier League. He guided Wolverhampton Wanderers to consecutive seventh-place finishes and secured European qualification for Nottingham Forest. David Sullivan, West Ham’s owner, reportedly likes Nuno and might push for his appointment if Potter is sacked ¹ ² ³.
West Ham’s upcoming match against Crystal Palace at the London Stadium looks like a must-win for Potter, especially with Palace on a record run of 10 games unbeaten ².
