Mystery managers of the “highest class” have been appointed and have made it clear that they want the West Ham job if David Moyes leaves.
In the middle of 2024, with West Ham left without a win, speculation about David Moyes’ future at West Ham is resurfacing.
The Hammers have not tasted victory in seven games this season.
West Ham fans are furious about these performances.
Worse for Moyes, they have also sown a seed of doubt in the minds of West Ham’s owners.
Mysterious “top” managers who want to appoint West Ham:
David Sullivan, West Ham’s majority owner, has frozen talks on a new contract with Moyes.
Last night, talkSPORT claimed that Moyes had been given an ultimatum to keep his job.
The Telegraph claims that West Ham are aware that a number of high-profile managers are interested in the job.
Now the mystery “top” managers who have made it clear they want the West Ham job have been named.
The duo are revealed as Moyes’ successors.
Hugh Southon, who is close to Sullivan, revealed the mystery bosses who were in the running for the job.
They are Christophe Galtier and Paulo Fonseca:
According to Southon, Fonseca is number one on West Ham’s list to replace Moyes.
The Portuguese has already been in talks with the Kladivari player.
“Sources close to both managers have told Claret and Hugh that both are desperate to join a Premier League club and the Irons board are aware of both,” they claim.
Fans will not be impressed
Many West Ham fans will undoubtedly be deeply disappointed by these names.
They may also argue that neither of them is a “top” manager.
All this after embarrassing 3-0 and 6-0 defeats to Man United and Arsenal.
Just as worrying, however, have been the team’s performances against lesser opponents since the start of the year.
West Ham failed to beat Brighton, who were without five of their best players. They failed to beat Sheffield United, who are at the bottom of the standings. A mid-table Championship team held off the Kladivarians before knocking them out of the FA Cup. Bournemouth knocked out West Ham 1-1 at home.
