West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo is already facing questions over his future just months after arriving at the London Stadium.

The Portuguese coach entered the season with his stock high, having led Nottingham Forest to a strong league finish and European qualification in 2024/25. But his surprise dismissal from Forest in early September — triggered by clashes with the club’s ownership rather than results — abruptly ended that chapter.

West Ham moved quickly to appoint him after parting ways with Graham Potter, yet only a short period into his reign, doubts are emerging over his long-term prospects.

Reports claim Nuno’s position is under threat

According to a well-known transfer insider, sections of the West Ham hierarchy are already unhappy with the direction of the team. Posting on X, the insider stated:
“Nuno Santo job not safe. Hearing certain West Ham officials not happy. Keep a eye on this.”

The claim suggests that support for Nuno is far from unanimous, and patience may be wearing thin after an inconsistent start.

Could Nuno become a two-time casualty in one season?

No decision has been made yet, but the upcoming festive period is expected to be crucial. Should performances fail to improve, Nuno risks becoming one of the very few managers to be dismissed by two Premier League clubs in the same campaign.

West Ham appointed him hoping for stability and momentum, but with results faltering and senior figures growing increasingly frustrated, his role is becoming more uncertain by the week.
