Key academy man to join New York FC
Under 23 manager Liam Manning, , who only took over as boss from Terry Westley at the start of a season that could easily see the team relegated with the drop now out of their hands, is ready to quit the Hammers for the MLS outfit.
It will come as a shock to the club and it is unclear who will replace Manning following an announcement of the move on FC New York’s official website.
He will become director of coaching for the club which is currently sitting ninth in the 12 team league with eight points from seven games.
It means he will take charge of his last under 23 game on the 27th of April against Everton with the team hoping to win with other results going their way to avoid them slipping out of Premier League 2 Division One.
