He has since been replaced by former Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou, who lost his first game in charge 3-0 to Arsenal on Saturday (September 13).
According to journalist Alan Nixon, West Ham could offer him an almost immediate return to the Premier League with growing doubts over the future of Graham Potter.
West Ham currently sit down in 17th with just three points from their opening four games, with their only win coming in Espirito Santo’s final game as Forest manager.
