After West Ham United’s 6-0 loss against Arsenal, the board of directors decided to put off contract negotiations with David Moyes.
At halftime, with Arsenal leading their London rivals 4-0, many of supporters fled the London Stadium.
However, matters worsened as Arsenal finished their demolition of East London thanks to a spectacular goal from former captain Declan Rice.
Although Moyes guided West Ham to victory in the Europa Conference League the previous season and the team is now in ninth place, a substantial portion of the fan base is against him.
Supporters haven’t always taken to the Scot’s style of play, and the team hasn’t triumphed since defeating Arsenal 2-0 in late December.
Following that win, Moyes had informal conversations with the board and it was anticipated he would sign a new contract.
The season’s finish marks the expiration of the former Manchester United manager’s contract, which was anticipated to be extended until 2026.
However, the Telegraph claims that no deal has been reached and that the negotiations have now cooled.
Several well-known managers are reportedly eager to take over at the London Stadium, something that West Ham’s board is reportedly aware of.
Recently, when questioned about his new contract, Moyes responded, “We’ll get back on it now that the transfer window is closed.”
“We’re moving on it and far down the line.” We’ll talk about that once again in the upcoming weeks.
