West Ham have moved swiftly to hire Nuno Espírito Santo as manager after sacking Graham Potter two days before facing Everton. Potter was relieved of his duties after nine months in the job on Saturday.

West Ham’s next Premier League match is against Everton, who are making headway under the former Hammers manager David Moyes. Kyle Macaulay, West Ham’s head of recruitment and close to Potter, is expected leave.
