In a surprising turn of events, top journalist Alan Nixon has revealed that Nuno Espirito Santo is now on the verge of replacing Graham Potter at West Ham, a story he first broke.
Although several managers were considered as potential successors to Potter, Nuno and Slaven Bilic have emerged as the frontrunners to take over should West Ham opt for a change, which seems increasingly likely given the club’s current crisis both on and off the pitch.
Frustration among fans towards the owners has escalated, with protests and boycotts planned in response to the team’s poor performances. Potter’s lackluster record, coupled with questionable decisions during games, has intensified criticism from supporters who have lost faith in his leadership.
Despite the pressure on Potter to deliver, West Ham’s hierarchy have hesitated to let him go, possibly due to concerns about upcoming challenging fixtures. However, speculation suggests that Nuno, who boasts an impressive track record, is set to step in and take the reins at the club.
Amidst rumors of a power struggle within West Ham’s leadership regarding the next manager, Nuno’s potential appointment has gained momentum, as indicated by Nixon’s recent update confirming that the change in management is becoming increasingly likely. With fans divided over Nuno’s suitability for the role, it remains to be seen how his potential arrival will impact the club’s future.
