Scott Parker Appointed West Ham United Manager One Day After Nuno Espirito Santo's Sacking

Just a day after parting ways with Portuguese manager Nuno Espirito Santo, West Ham United have confirmed the appointment of Scott Parker as their new first-team head coach. The 46-year-old Englishman had been out of work since leaving Burnley at the end of April.

Expressing his delight upon returning, Parker said: "This is a huge moment for me, to take on this role and come back to a club that means so much to me and my family. I have so many wonderful memories of my time here: four years that were probably the best football of my career." He further added: "Above all, it’s an opportunity that excites me beyond belief. My energy, my enthusiasm, my desire, my passion... is just through the roof, and that was the feeling I got as soon as this possibility was discussed".
