West Ham United to begin search for David Moyes replacement as fresh sack update emerges
West Ham United are to set to begin searching for a replacement for manager David Moyes, according to TEAMtalk.
The publication reported on its website on Friday (10 November) that the process is a matter of diligence rather than intent.
The Hammers currently occupy 12th in the Premier League table and are top of their Europa League group after four matches.
“The club continue to maintain good relations with him and ideally intend to wait until the end of the season, when his contract expires, before making a choice on what happens next,” according to TEAMtalk.
A 1-0 win over Olympiacos on Thursday eases the pressure on Moyes for now, but the results and performances this season have not reflected the club’s vision of how they want to progress.
“We understand the process to start uncovering candidates to replace Moyes is now set to begin, as a matter of diligence rather than intent.”
Harsh?
Perhaps West Ham supporters will have mixed feelings if Moyes is sacked as manager in the near future. On the one hand, the Scot guided the East London club to an unforgettable Europa Conference League trophy last season.
But on the other hand, the Hammers were involved in a tense Premier League relegation battle at one stage last time out. Moreover, they are now in a serious domestic rut after making a strong start to the new league campaign.
The Hammers currently sit in 12th place, and are without a win in their last four league matches. They have, however, managed to stay relatively strong in Europe and indeed in the League Cup, where they will take on Liverpool in the quarter-finals next month.
But a decision could come down to more than just results, with the manager perhaps not having the same objectives as the powers that be at the London Stadium.
In other West Ham news, the Hammers will be impacted by a potential Premier League rule change, with a vote impending.
