New West Ham chief Daniel Kretinsky proved right over big Slaven Bilic call

Hammers News writer Damien Charles Lucas argues that West Ham majority owner Daniel Kretinsky has been proven right for retaining manager Nuno Espirito Santo instead of appointing Slaven Bilic following the club's relegation. Kretinsky reportedly backed Nuno due to team improvement late last season, his prior Championship title with Wolves, and doubts over alternative managerial candidates.

The writer notes that Bilic recently oversaw a historic 7-0 defeat for Croatia against England in the Nations League. Meanwhile, West Ham have recovered from a shaky start in the Championship to go unbeaten in five matches, winning four consecutive games under Nuno.
