Richard Keys reacts with David Moyes message as West Ham sack Lopetegui
Richard Keys has pondered what David Moyes thinks after Julen Lopetegui was sacked by West Ham on Wednesday.
The Hammers announced on 8 January that the Spaniard has lost his job at the London Stadium after a string of poor results and performances.
Considering that the ex-Real Madrid boss took over from the highly successful Moyes, it is safe to say that the 58-year-old’s spell in East London was a failure.
With that in mind, Keys took to X (8 January) to say: “I wonder what David Moyes is thinking tonight?”
David Moyes mentioned after Julen Lopetegui West Ham sack
The Scotsman has had two spells with the Irons and was successful in different ways in both those stints in charge.
His second was easily the most memorable as he secured a Conference League title thanks to a late goal from Jarrod Bowen in Prague.
Regardless of this, supporters still wanted him gone from the London Stadium at the end of last season and will likely be regretful of that decision.
Lopetegui took charge of just six Premier League wins across his 20 games in charge while also drawing a further five which may have been accepted if the style of play was better.
Given that the ex-Wolves boss oversaw nine losses including heavy defeats against Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham, there are very few positives to take from his tenure.
Moyes must look at this and wonder why he was let go and replaced with the Spanish manager who utilises a similar style of play, which was fans’ biggest complaint.
