West Ham United have announced that Nuno Espírito Santo will continue as head coach after the club’s relegation from the Premier League. The Portuguese manager met with the board following the 3-0 defeat at Leeds on Sunday, and has been in charge since September.
“We held meetings with head coach Nuno Espírito Santo early this week and are pleased to confirm that he has expressed his continued commitment to the club – as we have to him,” the club said.
“Nuno made it very clear that he is highly motivated for the challenge of guiding West Ham back to the top flight at the first attempt. That must be the unquestionable goal for next season. Nuno previously spent a season in the Championship, achieving 99 points to win the title with Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2018.”
“While Sunday’s result was painful, the board believes there have been broader signs of improvement and progress in recent months, and we want Nuno to continue developing that progress.”
