West Ham United manager David Moyes is under increasing pressure after the 6-0 defeat against Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.
The Scottish manager’s future has been the subject of much speculation in recent weeks, as the club has still not offered him a new contract. With his contract at the London Stadium expiring at the end of the season, his future remains unclear.
However, after Sunday’s defeat, it seemed that a turnaround had taken place and things will now be a bit louder.
Apart from the West Ham defeat, the players seemed to lack confidence and direction in a defeat they will not forget for a long time.
However, it is not all bad, as West Ham are eighth in the Premier League and have progressed from the Europa League group.
However, given the club’s previous interest in Middlesbrough manager Michael Carrick, this devastating defeat could cement such perceptions.
The latest information on Moyes’ future was revealed by journalist Jacob Steinberg. He mentioned that West Ham had previously expressed an interest in signing Moyes to a new contract, but that this had apparently changed after the defeat against Arsenal.
The journalist said: “Despite the positive announcements last month, there is now no guarantee that West Ham will ultimately give David Moyes a new contract.
“Some still expect him to stay but recent form has changed the mood. Further talks are planned for later in the season and West Ham are hopeful that results will improve.”
The former Everton and Manchester United manager has also been harshly criticised after good results at West Ham. Fans have often criticised his defensive style of play and want the team to play with an attacking approach.
Moyes has come close to being sacked from the club on several occasions in the past and, according to the Telegraph, Slaven Bilic was linked with the club last season.
