Nuno Espirito Santo is in sack danger at West Ham, given how his reign at the London Stadium has unfolded.
The recent 1-0 loss against Fulham at the London Stadium has further heaped pressure on the Portuguese tactician.
Imagine if Nuno were to be sacked…😮
Who would you want West Ham to replace him with and why?
West Ham are considering sacking Nuno if results do not improve, as they currently find themselves in 18th place, five points behind Nottingham Forest, who are 17th.
Slaven Bilic expected to be under consideration at West Ham
According to Give Me Sport, Slaven Bilic’s name was put forward by David Sullivan as the man to replace Graham Potter.
Instead, the hierarchy opted to go with Nuno, who has not managed to get the team out of the relegation zone.
This is shocking! 😰 Relegation is going to be dire for West Ham…
What would YOU do to avoid this mess?
While there have been small improvements, doubts are starting to grow as to whether or not he is the right one for the job.
If West Ham are to sack Nuno, it’s understood that Bilic would be among those who would be considered by the hierarchy.
The Croatian has been out of work since his stint at Saudi side Al-Fateh ended in 2024, and the 2019 SPL Manager of the Month (January 2019) still has admirers at the London Stadium.
What has Bilic said previously about returning to West Ham
His current-day intentions are yet to be known, but Bilic is expected to be open to getting back into management and holds West Ham in high regard.
The 57-year-old himself confirmed that he was being considered to replace Potter at the Irons.
When asked if there was any truth to those claims, he said: “There was a bit, yeah, there was a bit.
“I was close or whatever, but I didn’t get the job. They got Nuno, who was a top manager and who’d done a great job at Wolves, not to mention Forest.”
While he has not explicitly stated that he is open to managing West Ham one day, the fact that he came close to a return a few months ago hints that he would be open to it even today.
Bilic is already loved by the London Stadium faithful and would not take too long to adapt to life at the club.
