David Moyes to accept Republic of Ireland job amid latest West Ham United exit speculation
West Ham manager David Moyes may take the Republic of Ireland job if he was offered it, according to journalist Colm Boohig.
The verdict comes amid speculation regarding the manager’s future at the London Stadium, with some supporters recently unveiling a “Moyes Out” banner in the stands.
According to London World weekend editor Sebastian Vidal (21 February), the Hammers have made contact with Graham Potter and Julen Lopetegui to replace Moyes.
“I think David Moyes has done a phenomenal job,” Boohig said on Off The Ball Breakfast (21 February). “Bear in mind this is his second spell at West Ham, he came back and everyone said ‘Oh no, this guy.’ And he won them their first trophy in decades, has a really good squad of players.
“I don’t think he’s taking a Premier League job that he thinks is beneath him, he’s certainly not taking an upper Championship job.
“He may take the Republic of Ireland job if they go to him and say ‘You’re the man for us, you’re doing us a huge favour by taking the job.’ And then he might.”
Will West Ham cut ties with David Moyes?
Moyes has done a superb job at the London Stadium, with the manager bringing the club into Europe thanks to their performances in the Premier League.
And they have enjoyed huge success in Europe, with the Hammers now in the Europa League after winning the Europa Conference League last season.
They are now into the latter stages of Europe’s secondary club competition, and are in ninth place in the Premier League, but many fans are still unhappy with the man in the dugout.
Plenty of supporters have shared their discontent with the manager’s style of play, believing that they have a talented squad that is capable of playing more attractive football.
The approach has been largely successful, but the boss seemingly remains under pressure in East London.
It remains to be seen what the London Stadium chiefs have in mind for the Scot, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.
