West Ham<\/a> manager Nuno Espirito Santo is meeting senior management on Monday to assess the impact of relegation to the Championship, amid a belief he is likely to leave the club.<\/p>\n

Nuno refused to say whether he would remain at London Stadium after failing to prevent the club dropping out of the Premier League for the first time since 2011.<\/p>\n

It is expected his future will be resolved this week.<\/p>\n

The former Wolves<\/a>, Tottenham<\/a> and Nottingham Forest<\/a> manager signed a three-year deal with the Hammers in September.<\/p>\n

Despite improved form toward the end of the season, including a final day 3-0 victory over Leeds<\/a>, West Ham<\/a> paid the price for a poor start, followed by a run of 10 games without a win from the beginning of November to the middle of January.<\/p>\n

Chairman David Sullivan and vice-chairman Daniel Kretinsky are likely to be the key voices in the meeting.<\/p>\n

West Ham<\/a> sources have indicated relegation will cost the club about \u00a3200m in lost income at a time when finances are already stretched.<\/p>\n

The Hammers made a \u00a3104m loss in their most recent accounts to 31 May 2025 and are predicted to lose another large sum this season.<\/p>\n

Sales appear inevitable, with Mateus Fernandes on Manchester United<\/a>‘s list of central midfielders they are interested in.<\/p>\n

Skipper Jarrod Bowen is also coveted by a number of Premier League clubs, although he didn’t want to talk about that when interviewed by Match of the Day after the Leeds<\/a> game.<\/p>\n

“It’s still very, very raw,” the winger said. “Talking about futures is disrespectful to the club, the fans, everything like that. <\/p>\n

“This club deserves to be in the Premier League. Our aim now is to get this club back into the Premier League.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo is meeting senior management on Monday to assess the impact of relegation…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":466339,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-466338","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=466338"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466338\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/466339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=466338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=466338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=466338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
