Former West Ham player Scott Minto expressed skepticism about David Moyes continuing as manager at London Stadium next season.
With Moyes’ contract set to expire soon, discussions about his future and potential replacements have intensified among supporters.
Minto shared his thoughts on the Premier League All Access podcast, noting the challenging fixtures ahead for Moyes and suggesting uncertainty about his tenure beyond this season.
“There’s some tough games coming up for David Moyes,” Minto remarked, referencing matches against Newcastle United, Spurs, and Europa League opponents. “I would be surprised if he’s the manager next season.”
Moyes, now 60, faces a crucial decision regarding his West Ham contract offer. While he has been offered a new deal, he has yet to commit, leaving his future hanging in the balance. Despite this, Moyes has garnered respect for his achievements, particularly last season’s success in the Europa Conference League.
The outcome of West Ham’s Europa League quarter-final clash with Bayer Leverkusen may influence Moyes’ decision. The recent European run has helped rebuild goodwill between Moyes and the fanbase, which had wavered previously.
However, criticism of Moyes’ playing style persists among some supporters, indicating a mixed sentiment towards his potential continuation as manager.
As the season draws to a close, Moyes must make a decision about his future with the club. Regardless of his choice, clarity on his managerial status is expected within the next eight weeks.
