Official: Scott Parker appointed West Ham manager

In depth

West Ham officially announced the appointment of Scott Parker as the club's manager. Parker replaces Nuno Espírito Santo, who was dismissed after two consecutive home defeats and the club's eighth place in the Championship. According to ONE, the 52-year-old Portuguese manager paid the price due to the disappointing results.

According to ONE, Parker said: "I feel privileged and honored to be the man who will lead the club back to the Premier League". His debut is expected tonight against Cardiff, and Manor Solomon, who recently dropped to the bench, will hope to impress the new manager in order to return to the starting lineup.
