Just before the international break, West Ham United defeated Nottingham Forest 3-0, which marked the end of Nuno Espirito Santo's time at the City Ground.
The Hammers did not build on this victory, as they suffered a defeat by the same scoreline to Tottenham Hotspur yesterday.
West Ham are in the relegation zone of the Premier League, with pressure mounting on Graham Potter.
The East London side is known for being patient with their managers. However, with the threat of going down a real possibility, the West Ham hierarchy will be sounding out a replacement for Potter.
Frank Lampard was linked with a return to West Ham, but appointing the Coventry City manager may not be a popular move.
Another possibility is Nuno, with Alan Nixon reporting that the former Forest boss is "in Hammers thoughts."

Could Nuno Espirito Santo save West Ham United from relegation?
It would be ironic that the only manager Potter has beaten so far ends up replacing him in the West Ham dugout.
Nuno worked wonders at Forest last season by taking them back into European competition.
His dismissal at the club was largely due to his reported fallout with the club's new head of football, Edu Gaspar.
Nuno was outspoken in his press conferences, and it may have been a relief for him to be sacked.
West Ham will need a manager to keep them in the Premier League first and foremost. However, in the long term, Nuno may not be their man, as Hammers fans are insistent on having a more attractive style of play.
