On January 15th, West Ham United confirmed the appointment of Paco Jémez as their new assistant manager. He became the latest addition to Nuno Espírito Santo’s back room staff midway through the season.

The Spaniard started his coaching career almost two decades ago. Jémez was then a head coach throughout his career until he moved to West Ham.
