West Ham United board ‘eyeing up’ major personnel change following 4-1 Aston Villa defeat

The West Ham United board are reportedly looking at possible replacements for head coach David Moyes amid rumours that the Scot will be leaving the London Stadium later in the season, according to Football Insider.

Moyes’ contract with the Irons is set to expire in the summer of 2024 - as things stand, he has given no indication as to whether he will be signing a new deal before the end of the season. Therefore, the Hammers hierarchy are looking to plan ahead in the event that Moyes chooses to depart the club.

Should West Ham let David Moyes leave the club?

When Moyes re-joined West Ham in December of 2019, his arrival was met with little fanfare by the Hammers massive. Many saw his re-appointment as a sideways move at best - since then, however, the former Manchester United manager led them to their first European trophy in history.

Indeed, Moyes has done far better than most predicted he would. Nevertheless, he still likes to employ a defensive approach to football - given West Ham’s fantastic attacking talents, he may not be the man to get the best out of them.

Who could replace David Moyes at West Ham?

If the West Ham board were to push Moyes before he jumps in the coming weeks, there are a number of unattached head coaches they could bring in to replace him.

One of them is former Chelsea boss Graham Potter, who has yet to find work ever since his dismissal from the Blues. This could be an excellent move for all parties - Potter is looking to get his career back on track, while the Hammers could benefit from a young, talented manager in their ranks.

Frank Lampard is also available at the moment, following his own stint at Chelsea. He has yet to hit the ground running in management, outside of a successful stint at Derby County - could he finally find his feet at West Ham?
