‘Premier League manager to replace Nuno Espirito Santo’ after West Ham sack news
Nuno Espirito Santo could be sacked at any moment at West Ham United.
West Ham crashed to an embarrassing 3-0 defeat at Wolves on Saturday, handing the Molineux side their first win of the Premier League season.
Nuno is now in crunch time for the sack at the London Stadium, with Slaven Bilic said to be ready to answer any SOS call thrown his way.
Michael Carrick is reportedly another option to replace Nuno, but it’s a current Premier League manager who may find himself switching hot seats.
Scott Parker to West Ham United?
Stan Collymore spent his Saturday conjuring up a wild merry-go-round of Premier League sackings, but all is not as doom and gloom for those managers.
He predicted that Nuno could replace Sean Dyche at Nottingham Forest again, with the latter then returning to Turf Moor and Burnley.
That would then open the door for Scott Parker to return to West Ham, but this time as manager.
Collymore started: “West Ham will sack Nuno, Forest will sack Dyche, Nuno will go back to Forest.
“Dyche to Burnley, Parker to West Ham.”

What has Scott Parker said about West Ham?
Parker will always go down as a hero around West Ham.
The Burnley boss was linked with the job after Graham Potter was sacked, but Nuno was appointed by David Sullivan, which appeared to be the right call at the time.
Speaking back in 2020, Parker shared his love for the Hammers.
“I’ve got amazing memories. It’s a fantastic football club where I had four unbelievable seasons. It ended in relegation, but that disappointment will not dampen the memories,” he said.
“The fanbase is incredible, Upton Park – where I was playing – was a special place, so I’ve got many fond memories.”
With Nuno’s record of two wins from 15 games at the London Stadium, it surely wouldn’t be that hard to improve things.
Either way, Nuno only appears to be heading one way, and that is the sack.
Nottingham Forest are next at the London Stadium on Tuesday, and only a win will do, with defeat leaving them seven points behind safety.
