Nuno Espirito Santo has been sacked by West Ham just 13 games into the Championship season.
The Hammers suffered back-to-back home defeats to Southampton and West Brom to leave them six points off the top of the table, and four points off the Championship automatic promotion spots.
West Ham say the board of directors felt a change in the dugout was "necessary" to ensure the club's "objectives and expectations remain on track" after seeing Nuno's side pick up six wins from their first 13 matches.
Scott Parker is close to being appointed West Ham boss.
