West Ham Star’s Partner and Ex-Hammers Players Subtly Criticize Nuno Espirito Santo Following His Dismissal

November 3, 2026 sportnow WAGS and former players have discreetly shared their thoughts regarding the dismissal of West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo.

Reactions seem to be surfacing now, as Alphonse Areola’s wife posted a cryptic Instagram story, and several current and former Hammers who played under Nuno expressed their sentiments by liking the post announcing his sacking.

Marrion Areola, the outspoken wife of the sidelined Hammers goalkeeper, expressed her views quite clearly on Instagram following the termination.

She shared the famous “so long farewell” clip from The Sound of Music, which seemed to be a direct reference to the situation.

Alphonse, her husband, hasn’t featured in any games this season under Nuno, as Mads Hermansen has taken the lead.

So it might be a welcome change for the Areola family.
