West Ham Sack Nuno, Appoint Parker, Then Fight Back From 3-0 Down
Post
๐ฐ West Ham changed manager mid-season, replacing Nuno with Scott Parker, who saw his side recover from 3-0 down on debut.
๐ Key points
๐ช West Ham sacked Nuno Espirito Santo on 3 November.
๐ Scott Parker was appointed on 4 November on a 2.5-year deal.
๐ West Ham were eighth, six points off the top, after 13 games.
๐ They came back from 3-0 down at Cardiff to draw 3-3.
๐ฉ Jack Moylan scored a hat-trick for Cardiff.
๐ What happened
๐ช West Ham dismissed Nuno after back-to-back home defeats, the latest a 3-1 loss to West Brom. He had stayed on after relegation from the Premier League last season to try to win promotion.
๐ Parker, 46, played four seasons for West Ham and led Bournemouth and Burnley to promotion from the Championship before leaving Burnley in April after relegation. He said he wants to lead the club back to the Premier League.
๐ At Cardiff, Moylan's hat-trick put the hosts 3-0 up at half-time, but West Ham scored three times in the second half to draw 3-3. Parker admitted the half-time team talk was very difficult.
