BREAKING : West Ham Appoints David Moyes As New Coach
West Ham United have announced David Moyes as new manager on a six month contract.
The 54-year-old, whose Sunderland side were relegated from
the Premier League last season, succeeds Slaven Bilic, who was
sacked on Monday with West Ham 18th in the table.
Moyes, who has also managed Preston, Everton, Manchester
United and Real Sociedad, becomes the 16th manager in the
Hammers' history and is expected to immediately take training
with the club's players that are not on international duty.
"I'm really looking forward to meeting the supporters, being
in the stadium with them and seeing them get right behind the
team, and my team also," he said.
"We need everybody with us. It's a big job we have in hand
now but, with everybody together, I'm sure we can get the
right results between now and the end of the season."
Moyes says West Ham need results quickly and he wants the
team to play entertaining football.
Joint-Chairman David Sullivan said: "This is a unique position
for David Gold and myself. It is the first time in almost eight
years at West Ham 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.
Moyes was relegated as Sunderland manager last season
"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."
West Ham were thrashed at home to Liverpool in what proved to
be Bilic's final game in charge and Moyes first task will be
to take on Watford at Vicarage Road live on Sky Sports on
Sunday November 19.
