David Moyes to remain as West Ham manager after Europa Conference League win
avid Moyes is set to stay on as West Ham manager next season following positive talks with the club’s ownership.
Moyes became only the third Hammers boss to deliver major silverware when lifting the Europa Conference League thanks to Wednesday night’s dramatic 2-1 victory over Fiorentina, ending the club’s 43-year trophy drought.
There had been suggestions the 60-year-old could take the opportunity to walk away on a high, having been on the brink of a more acrimonious exit on more than one occasion earlier in the season as the club battled relegation.
Moyes has also been linked with the Celtic job vacated by Ange Postecoglou’s move to Tottenham, having started his career at the Glasgow club.
However, the Scot has held discussions with West Ham chairman David Sullivan since the win over Fiorentina and signalled his intention to continue into the final year of his contract.
Speaking the morning after the Conference League final, Sullivan said Moyes had earned the right to decide his own future this summer.
“We came in for a lot of pressure from supporters, the press and everyone who seemed mad on making changes but we believe in honouring contracts,” Sullivan told talkSPORT.
"David had a contract with us and has a contract with us until next summer and next summer we'll look at it again. Until then, if he wants to remain as manager then he will remain as manager of West Ham."
