CONFIRMED: David Moyes named new manager of West Ham

Published on: 07 November 2017

David Moyes has been confirmed as new manager of West Ham United.

The former Manchester United and Everton manager has signed a deal to the end of the season. He replaces Slaven Bilic after his sacking on Monday.

Moyes, who has been out of work since leaving relegated Sunderland at the end of last season, has endured a tough run since leaving Everton to take charge of Manchester United following Sir Alex Ferguson's departure.

The former Preston boss lasted no longer than a season in his three roles since Goodison Park (United, Real Sociedad and Sunderland).

Joint-Chairman David Sullivan said: “I would like to welcome David to West Ham United.

“This is a unique position for David Gold and myself - it is the first time in almost eight years at West Ham United that we have appointed a new manager during the season.

“We need somebody with experience, knowledge of the Premier League and the players in it, and we believe David is the right man to turn things around and get the best out of the players at the Club. He is highly regarded and respected within the game, and will bring fresh ideas, organisation and enthusiasm.

“He proved with Everton that he has great qualities and we feel that West Ham United is a Club that will give David the platform to display those qualities again."
