Moyes poised to announce former Hammer to backroom

David Moyes is poised to announce Kevin Nolan in his backroom team as early as tomorrow.

Former captain Kevin Nolan left West Ham United by mutual consent in 2015 after four years at the club.

The midfielder played 157 games for the Irons, scoring 31 goals, following his arrival from Newcastle United in June 2011.

Following his departure, he joined Leyton Orient as player-manager in 2016 becoming manager of Notts County in 2017.

In August 2018, Nolan was dismissed as manager of Notts County after a six-game winless run.

Football coach Paul Nevin is also set to join Moyes backroom team.

Nevin began his coaching career at Fulham where he spent 8 years in several roles including Academy and Reserve Team Manager. He then accepted an invitation to improve the fortunes of the struggling New Zealand Knights who competed in the Australian Hyundai A-League.

Nevin has enjoyed coaching opportunities in Qatar, Africa, China and Brazil and was also a regular guest presenter on the Al Jazeera Sports Channel.

After 5 years in the Middle East, Nevin returned to the Premier League as Head of Coaching at Norwich City. In October 2018, Nevin was temporarily appointed to Gareth Southgate’s England coaching staff.
