West Ham Keep Nuno Espirito Santo as Manager Following Relegation

Board cites a late-season upturn with immediate promotion set as the primary objective.

Overview

  • West Ham were relegated from the Premier League after the final-day fixtures left them 18th despite a 3-0 win over Leeds on Sunday.
  • The club confirmed in a Wednesday statement that Nuno Espirito Santo met board members earlier this week and has expressed his commitment to lead the team next season.
  • The board pointed to a marked improvement under Nuno, saying the side took 25 points from their final 17 league matches and highlighted his previous Championship title with Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2018.
  • West Ham warned of major financial consequences from the drop, with lost revenue widely estimated at about £200m and the club preparing for likely summer sales of top players such as Jarrod Bowen.
  • As part of efforts to rebuild relations with supporters the board announced reductions of up to 30% on season tickets and pledged further talks with the Fan Advisory Board while media reported differences among owners over the decision.
