- Nuno Espirito Santo expressed his continued commitment to the club, stating he is highly motivated to bring West Ham back to the top flight at the first attempt.
- West Ham United noted that the club lost £200m in revenue due to relegation and expects further losses, leading to inevitable player sales including Jarrod Bowen and Mateus Fernandes.
- Nuno Espirito Santo previously led Wolverhampton Wanderers to a Championship title in 2018, securing 99 points and promotion.
- West Ham United highlighted that the team earned 25 points from the final 17 Premier League matches, a 1.47 points‑per‑game ratio that would have placed them 7th over a full season, indicating improvement.
Why it matters: West Ham’s decision to retain Nuno gives the club a chance to recoup the estimated £200 million revenue loss from relegation by targeting an immediate promotion, while players like Jarrod Bowen face likely transfers to fund the deficit.
