West Ham United have officially parted ways with head coach Nuno Espírito Santo following a disappointing start to their Championship campaign. The decision was announced on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, after consecutive home defeats left the Hammers sitting eighth in the Championship table.

Nuno's departure follows a painful 3-1 home defeat against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday, October 31. The result came after another 3-2 home loss to Southampton, increasing pressure on the Portuguese tactician. West Ham had retained Nuno following their relegation from the Premier League last season, hoping he would guide the club back to the top flight at the first attempt. However, the club's board said a review of the team's early-season performance had convinced them that a managerial change was necessary to keep the club's objectives on track.

Assistant head coach Rui Pedro Silva and goalkeeper coach Rui Barbosa have also left the club. Former West Ham midfielder Mark Noble, alongside Steve Potts and Gerard Prenderville, will temporarily oversee the team as the club prepares for its next fixture against Cardiff City. Nuno's dismissal has now opened another chapter of uncertainty at West Ham, with supporters waiting to see who will be appointed to lead the club's promotion ambitions.

As West Ham begins the search for a new manager, attention will now turn to how the club responds to this major shake-up. Supporters will be hoping the change brings renewed energy, improved performances and a successful push for promotion, while Nuno Espírito Santo faces an uncertain future following his latest managerial setback.
