West Ham United are rebuilding the coaching staff at London Stadium once again after hiring Nuno Espirito Santo as their new head coach in September 2025. Here’s what we know about Nuno’s backroom staff.
Head coach: Nuno Espirito Santo
West Ham appointed Nuno Espirito Santo as their new manager, replacing Graham Potter as the Irons’ head coach in September 2025. The 51-year-old took over at London Stadium on an initial contract running through to 2028. He had not been out of a job for long, having only left Nottingham Forest earlier that month.
What we know about Nuno Espirito Santo’s coaching staff
As things stand, Nuno has not formally announced his new coaching team. The West Ham manager has so far worked with the interim staff for his first two games, but is expected to make changes during the international break.
There is a strong suggestion that Nuno will lean on people he has worked with before. Rui Pedro Silva and Julio Figueroa are likely to come in as assistant coaches, while Rui Barbosa and Antonio Dias are expected to be hired as goalkeeper coach and fitness coach respectively.
However, it is thought the likes of Mark Robson and Steve Potts have impressed Nuno in the early days of his Hammers tenure. While Graham Potter’s core coaching staff departed with him, Robson and Potts have been part of the club for a while and could be given roles under Nuno.
We will update this section once Nuno Espirito Santo makes his decisions.
