David Moyes, who took the helm of West Ham for the second time in 2019, has confirmed he will be continuing his tenure as the team’s manager. This announcement follows the team’s victory in the Europa Conference League.
Speculation surrounding Moyes’ tenure was rife throughout the season. On three different occasions, it seemed like he was one defeat away from dismissal. Nevertheless, each time, West Ham triumphed, ensuring their Premier League status with two games left.
Ending a 43-year trophy drought, West Ham celebrated their win over Fiorentina in Prague. With this victory under their belt, the decision was made to retain Moyes, 60, as they prepare for their third consecutive season in European football – a first in the club’s history.
Despite this success, Moyes will have to face the challenge of leading the team without captain Declan Rice, who is anticipated to depart this summer. Still, he remains optimistic about building on the recent Conference League success.
Speaking during West Ham’s open-top bus parade in London, Moyes said, “I hope we can continue to make progress. We’ve made considerable strides in the past two or three years, and last night’s trophy was a sign of that progress. It was a significant achievement for us to win a trophy.”
He added, “Competing at the top level every season is a tough challenge, but all we can do is give our best every season – and that’s our plan for the next one.”
