West Ham United have officially announced the backroom staff under Nuno Espirito Santo for his tenure at the club, with the Portuguese manager finalising his decision on the temporary staff given to him, and shockingly, he's taken on Mark Robson, Steve Potts, Gerard Prenderville and Billy Lepine.

Mark, Steve Gerrard will be a first-team coaches, whilst Billy will be the goalkeeping coach.

Once the owners decided to make the rash decision to sack Graham Potter and hire Nuno Espirito straight away, it would be only just two days before our first fixture, in which both the Portuguese international and the club decided that it would be best to wait on confirming who would be Nuno's appui for the future.

To help him adapt to West Ham and also ensure that he wasn't sitting alone in the dugout at the Hill Dickinson, staff from West Ham U18s & U21s joined him to get him up to speed, give them their personal advice, as well as help him in training.

Within the past four seasons, the Hammers have had four managers, and upon analysing the dismissal of David Moyes, Graham Potter and Julien Lopetegui, you can see a clear pattern that has occurred within the way their tenures at the club ended.

Upon the decision of David Moyes not to renew his contract on his own accord, contrary to what other pundits suggested about him being sacked, Moyes decided not to renew his contract due to his own decision, but why was the dismissal an ugly one?

West Ham’s defeat to Arsenal marked the end of the Premier League, with a two-week international break upcoming.

Whilst the international break is frowned upon, the positives are that it allows Nuno to have more time with certain players, training with those who haven’t travelled to their respective countries, as well as potentially bringing in some of his staff members who are his own.

West Ham United face a 2-0 defeat to Arteta’s Arsenal side after Nuno’s side struggled to make an impact on the game and woefully wasted the few good chances that were provided to them.

James Ward-Prowse has been a part of numerous conversations throughout Graham Potter's stint as well as the very short current tenure under Nuno Espírito Santo.

The Portuguese manager stamped his foot on the floor and, as his first action of being a Hammers manager, he decided not to let Ward-Prowse travel with the team to the fixture against Everton and it seems that this will become a regular occurrence according to recent history.

Nuno did address this and vocalised that 'they spoke' and that 'he understood'.

Nuno’s track record with clubs managed truly suggests how much he loves this league; he claims it to be “the best in the world”, and it shows, especially seeing as West Ham would be the FOURTH Premier League club he’s represented.

His short and unforgotten time at Tottenham Hotspur was his least successful of them all, managing 16 matches before being sacked whilst Spurs sat in 9th place.

The Hammers kicked off the game without Ward-Prowse in the starting squad, who had been the first to suffer Nuno's ruthlessness, being dropped from the squad entirely and being replaced by the debut of Soungatou Magassa.
