West Ham United to keep Nuno Espirito Santo as manager
What's the story
Despite a dismal 10-game winless streak, West Ham United are likely to stick with head coach Nuno Espirito Santo for the time being, as per Sky Sports News. The club is currently sitting at 18th position in the Premier League table, seven points from safety. However, their recent performance against Nottingham Forest was viewed as an improvement over the previous defeat against relegation rival Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Transfer focus
Club hierarchy to focus on transfers, not manager's position
The West Ham hierarchy will meet on Wednesday, with the discussions likely to revolve around transfers rather than Espirito Santo's future as head coach. The club has already signed two new strikers, Pablo and Taty Castellanos, for around £50 million in the past week. Pablo is represented by Jorge Mendes's agency, Gestifute, and both players were targets identified by Espirito Santo.
