West Ham United's struggles in the English Championship continue, with manager Nuno Espírito Santo reportedly on the brink of becoming the first managerial casualty of the season. The team suffered a disappointing 1-2 defeat against Charlton Athletic in their second-round match, failing to secure their first win in the division and remaining in 17th place.
This latest loss has intensified fan frustration, particularly after the club narrowly avoided relegation from the Premier League last season. The pressure is mounting on Espírito Santo, whose position appears increasingly precarious as the team's performance fails to meet expectations.
