New boss admits West Ham's growing crisis
The Straits Times
|October 22, 2025
Nuno Espirito Santo admitted that “we have a problem” after West Ham United suffered a lacklustre 2-0 Premier League loss at home to Brentford on Oct 20.
-
A night that started with a boycott by one set of Hammers fans ended with those that remained at the London Stadium booing the home side off the field, as goals from Igor Thiago and Mathias Jensen secured a first away win of the 2025-26 season for Brentford, who should have won this match by a larger scoreline.
Nuno’s first home match in charge coincided with a planned stay-away organised by supporters’ groups in protest against the club’s board.
Defeat meant the Hammers had lost their opening four home matches of a season for the first time in their history, with this defeat coming on the same day as former boss Graham Potter, sacked by the club in September, was named as the new coach of Sweden’s national team.
