# Fans call on Kevin Nolan to bring discipline to West Ham

Former West Ham man Kevin Nolan [has joined West Ham](https://twitter.com/WestHam/status/1225374372858298368?s=20) as a coach, returning to the club where he spent [four years](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kevin-nolan/profil/spieler/3950) playing.

The former midfielder, who has been out of work since being sacked by Notts County in 2018, [joins](https://twitter.com/WestHam/status/1225374372858298368?s=20) Moyes’ backroom staff alongside former Brighton and Norwich coach Paul Nevin.

Nolan had a great first season in Nottingham, leading Notts County to the play-off final before being [sacked early on](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45314454) in the next season due to a dismal start to the campaign, which saw them go on a [six-game winless run](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45314454).

However, despite this, several West Ham fans are excited about his appointment to the backroom staff, with a number of supporters remembering a brilliant anecdote that Nolan mentioned on the [FootballJoe Liquid Football podcast](https://twitter.com/FootballJOE/status/1224671444048629761).

Nolan describes getting his players back and watching over the footage after a defeat to bottom of the league Barnet, with a lot of Hammers fans excited by his methods of disciplining players.
