Analysis – Phil Parry, BBC London Sports Editor
There were some who thought Nuno would leave the club in the summer after failing to survive the relegation battle, but the stability he offered and his experience in guiding Wolves out of the Championship were seen as positive reasons to welcome his continuation at the helm.
The 6-0 hammerings at Wrexham and Lincoln contrast with some disappointing home defeats, including the last two outings at the London Stadium.
One of the main concerns was the slow start of the games. They have conceded the opening goal in four of their last six Championship games, picking up just two points from those matches.
It has been suggested that the team simply underestimated the intensity and urgency of games at this level and were still a little too nervous in the first half.
The Hammers have had a few matches against in-form teams higher up the table, but defeats in two of those games, both at home, have cost Nuno dearly.
With the squad at their disposal and the fans to support them, it will be an attractive job for the next manager, but whoever it is will know that the expectation at the London Stadium is an immediate return to the Premier League and that failure to achieve that goal is risky for the long-term.
