West Ham have confirmed that Manager David Moyes will leave the club at the end of the Premier League season.
The 61 year old Moyes, had come under increasing pressure after a poor run of results, including Sunday’s 5-0 defeat at the hands Chelsea.
Moyes said “I have enjoyed four and a half brilliant years at West Ham, and the club is in a stronger position than when I returned back in 2019.
“When I joined West Ham for a second time, the club was one place above the relegation zone, and it has been a terrific journey to have achieved three consecutive seasons in Europe.
“After leading the club to safety, we guided the team to finishes of sixth and seventh in the Premier League, and I was delighted when we won the Europa Conference League title last June – the club’s first major trophy in 43 years.
“I would like to thank all the players for their support, and all the success they have achieved, over the last four and a half years. I have really enjoyed working with everyone at West Ham, and I would like to thank the Board for giving me the opportunity to manage this great club.”

The Scot took over for his second spell at the London side in December 2019 and guided the Hammers to Europa Conference League success last season – their first major trophy for 43 years.
However, this season the Hammers have won just one of their past 10 games across all competitions, losing five, and, sitting ninth in the Premier League, are likely to miss out on a fourth successive season in Europe.
While nothing concrete has been signed yet, former Spain and Real Madrid boss Lopetegui is close to making a return to management with the Hammers, following his departure from Wolves in August last year.
Though West Ham confirmed that the search for Moyes’ successor had begun, they are yet to make a comment regarding it until an appointment is made.
