West Ham United is pleased to confirm that Academy coaches Mark Robson, Steve Potts, Gerard Prenderville and Billy Lepine have been given permanent first-team positions by Head Coach Nuno Espírito Santo.
The quartet, who have been assisting Nuno on an interim basis since his appointment, will now assume their roles full-time: Mark, Steve and Gerard as first-team coaches, and Billy as goalkeeping coach.
Nuno stated: "I am very happy that Mark, Steve, Gerard and Billy have agreed to continue in their positions permanently. They are a great asset: people who, beyond their knowledge and effort, feel for West Ham United. This is key to the challenge we are currently facing.
"I've been very impressed by their work, their knowledge and their commitment to West Ham United. They know the Club, the players and the people here very well, and that's a great strength for us going forward.
"Everyone has been very supportive during these first two weeks; they immediately understood what I'm trying to implement, and we already have a good relationship. Every day we learn more and work harder to get closer to the team we want to become."
Everyone at West Ham United would like to congratulate Mark, Steve, Gerard and Billy on their new roles and wish them every success in the future.
