Moyes looks set for six month deal

West Ham are tonight believed to be tying up the final details of a deal which would see David Moyes arrive as the club’s new boss.

And we believe that Moyes is ready to accept the position for six months and would appoint Phil Neville as his assistant at the London Stadium.

The club is awash with the news this evening and if concluded it means the board will have appointed the man they first wanted when deciding to part company with Sam Allardyce.

Moyes has had unhappy management experiences since leaving Everton and last season resigning 24 hours after the season ended when Sunderland were relegated – the first time in his career he had led a team to the drop.

Earlier he had been sacked by both Manchester United and Real Sociedad but now seems headed for the London Stadium in a move which, if it happens, is likely to cause some waves among the fans after his recent failures.
