“JAW-DROPPING TWIST! Nuno Espirito Santo’s UNBELIEVABLE West Ham Bombshell Will Leave You Speechless!”

West Ham United have endured a turbulent 18 months marked by constant upheaval both on and off the pitch.

The club is now on its fourth manager in that period, with Nuno Espírito Santo taking charge following Graham Potter’s dismissal.

During the same span, around 40 players have come and gone, creating instability that has made it difficult for the Hammers to build any sustained momentum.

Alongside this, numerous backroom staff changes have disrupted continuity behind the scenes — a level of turnover that is widely seen as unsustainable for a Premier League club.

Despite the chaos, there have been encouraging early signs under Nuno.

The current international break, while often frustrating for fans, has provided the Portuguese coach with valuable uninterrupted time to work with his squad.

It has also allowed him to assemble his backroom team after initially arriving at the London Stadium alone.

When Nuno replaced Potter two weeks ago, the previous manager’s entire staff — including both goalkeeping coaches — departed with him, leaving significant gaps to fill.

In response, Nuno turned to trusted figures within the club, temporarily drafting in Academy coaches Mark Robson, Steve Potts, Gerard Prenderville, and Billy Lepine to assist him.

The quartet were part of the team for West Ham’s 1–1 draw at Everton and the battling defeat at Arsenal, helping provide much-needed stability during the managerial transition.

Initially, it was expected that Nuno would soon bring in his own coaching staff, with several of his former assistants from Wolves, Tottenham, and Nottingham Forest tipped to join him.

Robson was thought to be the only one likely to remain as part of a refreshed first-team setup.

However, that speculation has now been put to rest following a surprising announcement from the club.

In a statement released on West Ham’s official website, Nuno confirmed that all four Academy coaches — Robson, Potts, Prenderville, and Lepine — have been permanently promoted to the first-team coaching staff.

The head coach praised the group as “great assets” who embody the values and understanding required to move the club forward.

“I’ve been very impressed by their work, their knowledge, and their commitment to West Ham United,” Nuno said.

“They know the club, the players, and the people here very well, and that’s a great strength for us going forward.

Everyone has been very supportive during these first two weeks; they immediately understood what I’m trying to implement, and we already have a good relationship.

Every day we learn more and work harder to get closer to the team we want to become.”

Nuno’s decision has been met with optimism among fans and staff, many of whom believe promoting from within aligns with the club’s traditions and provides much-needed stability.

West Ham’s Academy has long been known for producing top talent, though internal successes have often been overlooked in recent years.

Some observers had speculated that the appointments might be temporary, suggesting Nuno could still bring in his trusted lieutenants once contractual complications elsewhere were resolved.

However, club insiders have now dismissed those claims.

A reliable non-board source told Hammers News that the four Academy coaches are set to remain part of the first-team setup for the duration of Nuno’s initial three-year deal.

“His people from Forest won’t be coming,” the source confirmed, adding that the club is fully behind Nuno’s decision to build his team around staff who already understand the fabric and culture of West Ham.

With stability finally beginning to emerge after months of turbulence, the hope is that Nuno’s faith in homegrown coaching talent can help foster cohesion and restore a sense of identity within the club.

For now, West Ham appear committed to backing their new manager’s vision — one built on familiarity, hard work, and a renewed sense of unity.
