West Ham manager Nuno faces sack without pay if relegated
3 Feb
Summary
- Nuno could be sacked without compensation if West Ham United is relegated.
- A clause in Nuno's contract links his pay-off to the club's league status.
- West Ham is currently in the relegation zone, six points from safety.
West Ham United manager Nuno Espirito Santo's future is precarious, with reports indicating his contract allows for dismissal without compensation if the club suffers relegation. This stipulation significantly impacts the financial implications of any potential sacking, especially given the team's current league position.
Nuno, who took over in late September, has secured four wins in 19 Premier League games, with five draws and 10 losses. The team's recent 3-2 defeat to Chelsea has left them in the relegation zone, six points adrift of safety. This loss ended a short streak of three consecutive victories in all competitions.
The club faces crucial upcoming fixtures, including matches against Burnley and Manchester United. Should Nuno be dismissed, it would mark the fifth permanent managerial change at West Ham in just seven years, highlighting a period of instability in the coaching role.
