Only 1 win in 5 rounds! Premier League relegation team announced a change of coach, former Forest coach Nuno became a substitute

Only 48 hours left before the away game to Everton next Tuesday, West Ham United announced the dismissal of coach Porter. Porter became the second coach to be dismissed in the Premier League in the new season, and he was replaced by Portuguese coach Nuno Santo, the earliest fired by Nottingham Forest this season.

Since taking over Lopetegui in January this year, the 50-year-old Englishman has only led the team to play 25 official games, and the team is currently ranked second from the bottom in the Premier League (19th). In the last 15 Premier League games, the Hammers have only won three games, and the decline has continued since the end of last year: only 1 win in five rounds of the new season; it was reversed by Crystal Palace 1-2 at home last weekend, becoming Porter's "last dance".

West Ham United will challenge Everton at 3 a.m. next Tuesday. The opponent is the team led by former coach David Moyes, and this game will be Nuno's coaching debut - he was just fired by Nottingham Forest on September 8. Ironically, West Ham United's only win in the league so far this season was a 3-0 victory over the Forest away, which was also Nuno's farewell game in the Forest.

Potter was dismissed, and it was not unfair. In the new season, he led West Ham United to 6 games, except for defeating Nottingham Forest 3-0, he lost all the other five games. Including the first round of away games, he was hit hard by the newly promoted Sunderland 0-3, and was humiliated by Chelsea 1-5 when he returned to home, and was eliminated by Wolves 3-2 in the League Cup; the only highlight was the 3-0 Forest away games, but was then conquered by Tottenham and Crystal Palace in succession.

Including his previous seven-month term at Chelsea, Porter has been fired for less than one year in coaching twice. At the farewell press conference on Week 6, he admitted that his performance was poor: "The result is not good, and no one has to avoid it, so there is speculation, noise, and negative emotions. This is the Premier League, you have to accept it after signing the contract."

When Porter was hired, the club hoped that he would bring more aggressive football; now with Nuno, it implies that the style returns to pragmatism - the Portuguese's conservative style of playing in the forest last season had obvious results. Next, the new coach will face a serious start: first play away against Everton, and then go to the Emirates Stadium to challenge the favorite Arsenal to compete for the championship.
