Mark Noble has received a big vote of confidence from supporters to become a future manager of West Ham. Nearly 89% of Claret and Hugh readers said Yes the captain has got what it takes to be a future Hammers manager with only 12% disagreeing.
Noble has made 461 appearances for West Ham in all competitions and has a contract until June 2021 at which point he will reach 34 years of age.
In December last year Nobes told the club website: “To be honest, I haven’t done my coaching badges. Football is so intense now that when it gets to the summer, I like to spend it with my kids and the wife. I’d love to be involved somewhere though. I think there’s no better person than me at this club to know the morals and ensure the foundations are kept with the young players and staff members.”

Wasn’t Noble technical at least a coach under Bilic especially towards end. He def should work on badges & maybe do go player/coach in next season or two. The youth always say how much he helps them out & he loves the club like no other player. I would hope whoever is manager when I hangs boots up he is offered coaching job or like I said he could be squad player & coach (which he has really already done but make it official)
I would be happy if Nobes could make it as a manager – but at the moment we don’t know how good or bad he would be
Two of my favourite West Ham players turned out to be not great as managers – namely Leroy Rosenior and Alvin Martin
So Nobes go out there and show that you can do it
Even though has many critics, I do believe he has so much to offer especially in our Youth Development, what a role model to look up to, a genuine person and clear to see the respect fellow players have & how they look up to him.
