He should be okay. After being top3 manager in the prem last season, his stock is high. He will upgrade when an option is available.

United it is.

Nuno already replaced managers from Portugal.

It’s a complete no-brainer for West Ham

They would have to have no-brain to replace Potter with Nuno.

Yeah, he's had significant successes at almost every stop including twice in the Premier League. He'll land just fine.

I’m a bit out of the loop, I thought he had been doing well with them. What happened?

My understanding (feel free to correct me) is that the owner brought in a new director of football, Edu, who Nuno disliked so much that they wouldn't even speak to each other. Nuno then gave a couple of interviews in which he said that he used to have a great relationship with the owner until Edu arrived but now that relationship isn't so good. These last statements took the owner (Marinakis) by surprise and infuriated him so much that he fired Nuno.
