West Ham plan to keep faith with Nuno Espirito Santo and not follow in Nottingham Forest's footsteps by sacking a second manager of the season. The Irons only appointed Nuno last month after he was relieved of his duties by Forest.

The former Wolves boss has not been able to arrest West Ham's awful Premier League form and has yet to claim a win since replacing Graham Potter in the London Stadium dugout . The Hammers have claimed just a single point in Nuno's first four matches in charge and have suffered three successive defeats.

Despite Nuno's team selection coming under severe scrutiny following the side's last two losses against Leeds and Brentford, West Ham are set to back the boss in the January transfer window , per reports . The club will hope that lifts them away from relegation woe.

This stance is in contrast to Forest, who have not won a Premier League match since parting ways with Nuno. Ange Postecoglou's spell proved short-lived , and now Sean Dyche is in charge at the City Ground .

But despite the latter earning a quick win over Porto, the Irons are opting to keep faith with their latest struggling manager. Additions up front and at the back could follow.

Nuno has already spoken out about the volume of changes required in east London. The Portuguese coach has been forced to accept that he is also at fault, however.

"There are many problems in our club, unfortunately," he said. "It is not up to us to hide ourselves behind the problems. Everyone has to be alive and to do much more and be in the right position.

"We were not dealing with our defensive situations and I felt like we needed a striker to hold the ball, so maybe that's not the greatest from me. These kind of mistakes are unacceptable in the Premier League."

"There is quality there, there is time, but nothing will happen if we don't change," he added

"We must change our attitude, we must change the way we approach things, we must commit ourselves better, prepare better, work harder. All the things - that is the reality.

"We don't expect things to change by themselves. Realising we have time can be a mistake if we don't change things around quickly."
