West Ham manager David Moyes will be leaving his role at the end of the season by mutual consent, the Premier League club confirmed on Monday. Moyes, who led West Ham to their first trophy in 43 years by winning the Europa Conference League last season, has faced mounting pressure due to the team's recent poor form, culminating in a 5-0 defeat to Chelsea.
In a statement on the club's website, Moyes expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to manage West Ham, highlighting the progress made during his tenure. He acknowledged the club's improved position since his return in 2019, moving from a relegation-threatened side to securing three consecutive seasons in Europe.
The search for Moyes' successor is already underway, with talks reportedly held with Julen Lopetegui. West Ham's board thanked Moyes for his contributions, recognizing the progress and success achieved under his leadership.
Joint-chairman David Sullivan praised Moyes for his hard work and dedication, emphasizing the positive impact he has had on the club. The decision to announce Moyes' departure now allows for a proper send-off at West Ham's final home fixture against Luton Town on Saturday.
As Moyes prepares to step down, West Ham fans and stakeholders are gearing up to bid farewell to a manager who has left a lasting mark on the club's history. The search for a new manager signals a new chapter for West Ham United, as they aim to build on the foundation laid by Moyes and continue their upward trajectory in the Premier League.
