Nuno's Backroom Staff Confirmed

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.

Upon the confirmation of a permanent position, Nuno commented: "I am very happy that Mark, Steve, Gerard and Billy have agreed to continue in their positions permanently. They are a great asset: people who, beyond their knowledge and effort, feel for West Ham United".

Utilising a group of people for their knowledge about the club and the ideas about upcoming youth prospects will all come into play for the Hammers.

There are two sides to the situation, Nuno's hand that he was dealt ultimately ended up being as successful as he imagined it, and their first impact was enough for them to gain a full-time position, or perhaps Sully informed Nuno that he won't be buying any of his staff, seeing as it's too expensive, and ultimately was forced to use the youth srtaff.

However, despite whichever situation is the truth, having the academy coaching staff is a new angle that West Ham have never completely utilised and seeing the staff confirmed brings in a fresh feeling and thought process as to what Nuno could be doing for the Hammers
