Enough is Enough: West Ham Must Sack Nuno ASAP and Hire 57 y/o, He Wants Job

West Ham United are facing a defining moment over Nuno Espírito Santo’s future after their season reached a new low at the weekend.

The Hammers were beaten 3-0 by Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Saturday afternoon, a result that handed Wolves their first Premier League victory of the campaign.

For West Ham, it was a sobering defeat that underlined just how serious their situation has become. The club now face a daunting battle to preserve their Premier League status as confidence continues to drain away.

Although Nuno has only been in charge for a few months following his appointment in place of Graham Potter, a decision on his position appears increasingly inevitable.

The longer the current slump continues, the harder it becomes to justify persisting with the Portuguese coach.

Nuno’s tenure may be short-lived. Since taking over at the end of September, he has overseen a run that leaves West Ham 18th in the table with just 14 points from 20 matches.

While they are only four points adrift of safety, the gap itself is not the primary concern. Instead, it is the lack of cohesion, identity and tactical direction in their performances that is alarming.

At present, West Ham look like a collection of individuals rather than a unified team with a clear plan. Without a major shift in approach, both on and off the pitch, it is difficult to see how they can drag themselves clear of relegation trouble.

Should Nuno depart, he would leave after just three months in the role, but the club’s problems extend far beyond the dugout.

What West Ham need now is not a high-profile appointment or an ideological gamble, but a steady, experienced figure capable of restoring belief and urgency.

In that regard, Slaven Bilic stands out as a potential solution.

A former manager and club icon, Bilic understands West Ham inside out and would bring intensity, accountability and passion back into the dressing room.

He would demand commitment, energy and fight from his players, traits that are currently sorely lacking.

With survival now the overriding objective, rekindling a fighting spirit is essential. If anyone can inject that mentality into this struggling West Ham side, Slaven Bilic may well be the man to do it.
