Nuno Espirito Santo's previous experience of the Championship saw him lead Wolves to the title. Nuno Espirito Santo will stay on as West Ham manager to lead their fight to get back to the Premier League at the first attempt.

Nuno met with the club's senior management on Monday in the wake of their relegation from the top flight. Although both parties could have severed ties without compensation, they decided to stick together in the hope Nuno will repeat his promotion campaign with Wolves in 2018.

"We are pleased to confirm he has expressed his continued commitment to the club – as we have to him," wrote the club in an open letter to supporters. "Nuno made it very clear that he is highly motivated for the challenge of guiding West Ham United back to the top flight at the first time of asking. That must be the unquestionable goal for next season."

Nuno has spent one previous year in the Championship and it was an outstanding success as he secured 99 points to win the title with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
