West Ham United must make sack decision on David Moyes soon as Will Still linked with Sunderland job
Reims manager Will Still, a West Ham managerial target in the past, has been linked with the vacant job at Sunderland, according to Guardian’s Ed Aarons.
Still could be a strong fit for the Hammers due to his tactical prowess and a fresh perspective, which might inject new energy into the team.
Despite David Moyes’ success in securing the UEFA Europa Conference League last season, there are indications that his ideas have become somewhat stale.
The Englishman’s name has popped up whenever the Hammers have been close to sacking Moyes and in November, he even opened the door to taking over the reins in an interview with SudInfo.
Still’s innovative approach to the game, coupled with his track record of developing young talent, aligns with the club’s ambitions of being a top-ten team every season.
West Ham clearly need a manager who can build on the team’s recent achievements and take them to the next level.
Rather than just briefing the media after a few bad results, they’ve got to make the decision to part ways with Moyes, perhaps once his contract expires or sack him if things go from bad to worse in the second half of the season.
Moyes’ tactics, while effective, may have reached a plateau and Still’s arrival could introduce a more dynamic and unpredictable style of play.
His emphasis on attacking football and adaptability to different formations could provide a refreshing change for the squad.
Furthermore, Still’s potential to work within budget constraints and maximise the current squad’s potential aligns with West Ham’s financial considerations.
It certainly will be a gamble but the Reims boss deserves better than Sunderland and the Hammers should consider him.
