West Ham United confirm that Nuno Espírito Santo will stay as head coach following the club’s relegation from the Premier League to the Championship. Multiple outlets report that Nuno holds the position after discussions with the club’s board in the days after relegation. The decision comes despite West Ham’s 3-0 home win over Leeds on the final day, with the team finishing 18th and dropping into the second tier. According to reports, Nuno has been in charge since September and was appointed on a multi-year contract, which has helped shape the club’s approach to continuity after relegation. West Ham says the plan is for Nuno to lead the club’s push to return to the Premier League at the first attempt, and the appointment is framed as part of the club’s intent to rebuild around a clear objective for immediate promotion. Coverage across outlets also notes that while relegation created uncertainty around Nuno’s future, the club’s announcement removes that uncertainty and keeps him in charge at the London Stadium for the Championship season.
