West Ham United technical director Tim Steidten could look towards the European market in search of a successor to David Moyes, as Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth considers the possible changes in structure at the London Stadium.
The Irons have endured a torrid start to 2024 but still find themselves in the battle to secure continental football in east London ahead of the 2024/25 season.
West Ham could even ensure their place in next season’s Champions League if they follow up last term’s Europa Conference League triumph with a Europa League victory in May’s final in Dublin. Moyes sees his contract with the capital club expire at the end of the season and could decide to walk away after over four years in the job.
Moyes’ future at West Ham uncertain despite contract offer
Moyes will be frustrated at how his West Ham side have performed since the turn of the year and could be preparing for an exit from the London Stadium. In December 2023, a 2-0 victory at Arsenal placed West Ham in sixth place in the Premier League, five points behind fourth-placed Manchester City, after an impressive first half of the campaign. However, two victories in 11 top-flight fixtures since then, including a 6-0 home defeat at the hands of the Gunners in the reverse fixture, has dropped the Irons down to seventh, 15 points behind Aston Villa, who now occupy the final spot in the top four.
Sheth has told GIVEMESPORT (29th March) that Moyes will decide upon his West Ham future in the summer. The 60-year-old has claimed he has a contract offer to extend his stay at the London Stadium. His current deal expires at the end of the 2023/24 season.
coach Marco Silva.
The 46-year-old has done an impressive job at Craven Cottage, having secured the west London outfit’s immediate return to the Premier League during the 2021/22 season before securing a top-half finish last term. The Cottagers have comfortably secured their place in the top flight ahead of the 2024/25 season but could be fighting off enquiries about Silva’s availability.
Meanwhile, our sources indicate that former Chelsea and Brighton & Hove Albion boss Graham Potter may prefer to avoid returning to the Premier League with West Ham. Any links to the 48-year-old have little substance. Potter is currently out of work after his short tenure at Stamford Bridge ended in April 2023.
