HIGHLIGHTS

  •  West Ham United manager David Moyes’ future at the London Stadium is still in doubt.
  •  The 60-year-old faces enormous pressure amid reports that the Irons have held talks with Sporting CP boss Ruben Amorim.
  •  Moyes’ contract with the Hammers expires this summer, as the east London outfit assess their options.

Journalist Dean Jones acknowledges that he is shocked by the head coach’s lack of commitment to a new contract, putting “huge pressure” on West Ham United manager David Moyes to turn things around at the London Stadium.

After losing in the quarterfinals of the Europa League, the Irons had a mixed 2023–24 season and are now in a competition to earn European football in the last few weeks of the Premier League season.

After leading east London to victory in the Europa Conference League the previous season, Moyes has been with the Hammers for the past four years and has brought continental success to the area. But maybe it’s time to let go of the seasoned strategist.

West Ham hold talks with Ruben Amorim

Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim and West Ham have reportedly discussed David Moyes’ possible replacement at the London Stadium, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic. Moyes claims he had an extension offer on the table in February, but his contract expires in the summer. The Scotsman has not signed a new contract, raising the possibility that he will be ready to retire at the conclusion of the 2023–2024 campaign.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: During his 226 games in charge during his second stint at West Ham, Moores has a record of 1.54 points per match.

As West Ham gets ready for Moyes’s possible departure, they will take into consideration other appointments through the summer. The 60-year-old has guided the Irons to their most prosperous period in generations. In 2019, Moyes was given another contract at the London Stadium after guiding the Hammers out of the Premier League relegation zone.

The East London team would secure their place in the Europa League the next season with a sixth-place finish. The following season, after losing to Eintracht Frankfurt in the semifinals, they won the Europa Conference League thanks to a late goal from Jarrod Bowen that defeated Fiorentina 2-1 in Prague. But a lacklustre campaign since the start of 2024 combined with a Europa League quarterfinal loss to Bayer Leverkusen may mean Moyes’s days at West Ham are coming to an end.

Dean Jones – Moyes ‘deserves respect’ for West Ham achievements

Jones feels Moyes deserves respect for his achievements at West Ham but has hinted that his time at the London Stadium could be up. The journalist believes the former Manchester United manager is under substantial pressure in the capital. Jones told GIVEMESPORT:

“Moyes is under huge pressure, and you have to wonder how the vibe is inside the camp now that he’s come out with such strong messages against his team. He says he has a contract on the table, so if that is the case, I’m surprised he has not signed it, because I can not be sure the desire to keep him on will be so strong today. The fan base has been agitating for him to go for a while now – you could date it back to various stages across the season – and even when results have improved, most of them have lacked emotion towards him.

He deserves respect for what has been achieved, and I don’t think they will axe him before the season is out, but it would seem almost irresponsible not to be looking at other options now.”

Moyes is unlikely to stay at West Ham

According to The Guardian’s Jacob Steinberg, Moyes is unlikely to stay at West Ham following their 5-2 defeat at Crystal Palace on 21st April. The Irons gave a tired performance at Selhurst Park, having lost to Bayer Leverkusen in the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals earlier that week.

However, the same reporter is unsure whether the links to former Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Julen Lopetegui are accurate. The Spaniard has been out of work since he left Molineux in August 2023. Despite his impressive track record, the 57-year-old has only six months of Premier League experience.Moyes is unlikely to stay at West Ham
