Nuno Espirito Santo is entering a decisive week in his struggle to remain West Ham United’s manager.

As reported by Flashscore last week, the Portuguese coach’s position was expected to come under serious scrutiny if the Hammers lost to Wolves — a warning that proved all too accurate.

West Ham were humiliated 3-0 by the Premier League’s bottom club, giving Wolves their first league victory of the season and delivering a major blow to the team’s morale and momentum.

Now, reports suggest Tuesday’s clash with Nottingham Forest could play a pivotal role in determining whether Nuno retains his job.

However, sources close to the club indicate the decision will not come down to a simple win-or-lose scenario. West Ham recently invested in players tailored to Nuno’s tactical approach, equipping him with the tools to succeed. A managerial change at this stage could disrupt recruitment plans, particularly if a successor like Slaven Bilic were to demand a different player profile.

The board, therefore, appears cautious about making a hasty move.

Still, the Wolves defeat has intensified concerns. West Ham failed to register a single shot on target and now sit four points inside the relegation zone, leaving fans and club officials anxious.

Nuno’s next challenge comes against another of his former clubs, Nottingham Forest. Should he navigate that test successfully, further difficult fixtures await, including an FA Cup tie against QPR and a London derby at Tottenham Hotspur — matches that will continue to test both the team’s resilience and the manager’s standing at the club.
