West Ham United have officially announced the backroom staff under Nuno Espirito Santo for his tenure at the club, with the Portuguese manager finalising his decision on the temporary staff given to him, and shockingly, he's taken on Mark Robson, Steve Potts, Gerard Prenderville and Billy Lepine.

Mark, Steve Gerrard will be a first-team coaches, whilst Billy will be the goalkeeping coach.

Once the owners decided to make the rash decision to sack Graham Potter and hire Nuno Espirito straight away, it would be only just two days before our first fixture, in which both the Portuguese international and the club decided that it would be best to wait on confirming who would be Nuno's appui for the future.

To help him adapt to West Ham and also ensure that he wasn't sitting alone in the dugout at the Hill Dickinson, staff from West Ham U18s & U21s joined him to get him up to speed, give them their personal advice, as well as help him in training.

Within the past four seasons, the Hammers have had four managers, and upon analysing the dismissal of David Moyes, Graham Potter and Julien Lopetegui, you can see a clear pattern that has occurred within the way their tenures at the club ended.

Upon the decision of David Moyes not to renew his contract on his own accord, contrary to what other pundits suggested about him being sacked, Moyes decided not to renew his contract due to his own decision, but why was the dismissal an ugly one?
