Nuno Espírito Santo out at West Ham, Scott Parker in

West Ham have changed managers, and it was the main talking point on BBC Radio 5 Live's EFL podcast. Nuno Espírito Santo is out and Scott Parker is in at the Premier League club.

The 50-minute episode, published on 4 November 2026, features Aaron, Jobi and Lyle Taylor. They discuss Parker's appointment and the wider picture around the club. Nuno's time in charge lasted thirteen games, according to BBC Sport's live coverage.

Journalist and podcaster Sam Delaney joins the programme to give his view on West Ham. Thirteen games is a short spell for a manager, and the episode digs into what went wrong and what Parker has to fix. Managers often get judged on results over a few months, so the early weeks of a new job matter a great deal.

The podcast also moves down the football pyramid. The English Football League, or EFL, covers the three divisions below the Premier League. Derby County are in the Championship, the second tier, and they lost 4-0 to Norwich, also according to BBC Sport. BBC Radio Derby's Ed Dawes joins the show to explain the problems at the club.

Elsewhere in the league, Dave Challinor is joining Sheffield Wednesday in League One, the third tier. The episode covers that move too.

For a fan who only follows one club, the mix can look odd. A Premier League sacking, a Championship side in trouble and a new League One manager all sit in the same hour. Yet they share a thread. Each is about a club trying to find the right person to steer it through the next few matches. The episode is a quick way to see how those stories connect across the English game.
