It seems Nuno Santo is about to enter Premier League history, but for the worse, after his unexpectedly disastrous spell with West Ham.
The London club suffered a 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, extending their winless run to nine matches and dropping to 18th place, the last relegation spot.
According to English media reports, West Ham’s management has decided to sack Santo and appoint a new manager in the hope of saving the team from relegation.
Santo was previously sacked at the start of the season while managing Nottingham Forest following disagreements with the board. About a month later, he took over at West Ham in a move many considered hasty by the Portuguese coach.
If Santo is indeed sacked by West Ham, he will become the first manager in Premier League history to be dismissed from two different clubs in a single season.
This season has witnessed some strange numbers in the world of coaching, one of which was the dismissal of Ange Postecoglou from Nottingham Forest after only 39 days in charge, which is also the fastest dismissal in the history of the Premier League.
