Nuno Espírito Santo under threat at West Ham after dropping to eighth in Championship

West Ham manager Nuno Espírito Santo’s future at the club is under threat following a disappointing start to the Championship season. The team, which entered the campaign as promotion favourites, dropped to eighth place after suffering a 3-1 defeat to West Bromwich Albion on Saturday. This result marked the club’s second consecutive home loss, leaving them in the final playoff position and four points behind second-placed Swansea.

Despite the setback, West Ham remains intent on an immediate return to the Premier League after Nuno failed to prevent relegation in the previous season. While the manager is expected to be given time to improve the team’s performance, key figures within the club have reportedly grown increasingly impatient with the current results. The pressure on Espírito Santo was further highlighted by unrest from supporters during the match against West Brom.
