Nuno Herlander Simões Espírito Santo (born 25 January 1974), known as Nuno Espírito Santo or simply Nuno, is a Portuguese football manager and former player who played as a goalkeeper and is currently head coach of Premier League club West Ham United. During his career, Espírito Santo first made a name for himself in Spain, playing for three teams in five years.
