David Moyes will leave West Ham at the end of the season, the Premier League club have announced.
“West Ham United can confirm David Moyes will leave the Club by mutual consent at the end of the 2023/24 season, when his contract expires,” the club said in a statement.
“David will depart after four and a half years in charge at London Stadium, during which time he secured two top-seven Premier League finishes, runs to the UEFA Europa League semi and quarter-finals, and victory in last season’s UEFA Europa Conference League, with a 2-1 win over ACF Fiorentina in Prague securing West Ham’s first major trophy since lifting the FA Cup in 1980, and their first European success since 1965.”
The Scot’s contract expires this summer and while West Ham are yet to confirm a successor, Julen Lopetegui is now widely expected to be the club’s next manager.
Sunday’s 5-0 defeat at Chelsea spelled the end of the Hammers’s slim hopes of qualifying for a fourth successive season in Europe and the decision to confirm Moyes’s fate now means he will be afforded a grand send-off in this weekend’s final home game of the season, against Luton.
