David Moyes to depart West Ham at finish of season as ex-Real Madrid boss nears deal
David Moyes will leave the role of West Ham manager by mutual consent at the end of the season, the club have announced.
The Scotsman, widely regarded as one of the club’s greatest ever managers following his Europa League Conference win last season, has seen his side plummet out of European contention this calendar year.
Joint-Chairman David Sullivan said: “On behalf of everyone at West Ham United, I would like to offer our sincere thanks and gratitude to David for the contribution he has made to the Football Club during his time as manager.
“David has been responsible for a period of great progress and success in our history, and we are extremely grateful for all of his hard work, commitment and dedication to the role.
“David has been an absolute professional to work with and he will leave with our greatest respect and good wishes – he deserves to be held in the highest esteem for the service he has given to West Ham United, and we wish him every success in the future.
“By making this announcement now, it allows David to get the send-off he deserves from the West Ham supporters and for us all to show our appreciation to him at our final home fixture of the season against Luton Town on Saturday.”
It comes after the Hammers agreed a deal for ex-Real Madrid, Spain and Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui.
