The Story in 60 Seconds

Nuno Espírito Santo is under increasing pressure at West Ham United following a disappointing start to their Championship campaign. The pre-season promotion favorites dropped to eighth place following a 3-1 home defeat to West Bromwich Albion on Saturday. Although Nuno is expected to be given time before the upcoming international break, key figures at the club have grown impatient amid unrest from supporters after back-to-back home losses.

West Ham are seeking an immediate Premier League return after suffering relegation under Nuno last season. Despite breaking the EFL transfer record with a £22m deal for Arne Engels, the squad has managed just two wins in their last six matches. Any final decision regarding Nuno's managerial future will be made collectively by the board, including major shareholder Daniel Kretinsky, interim CEO Karim Virani, and recruitment director Nils Koppen.
