The 58-year-old Scot was handed the reigns at the London Stadium for the second time in December 2019.

And Moyes has worked absolute miracles at West Ham.

Hammers’ turnaround this season has been incredible

After barely avoiding relegation last season, the Hammers are now in a great position to qualify for Europe this time around.

One win from our final two games should secure seventh spot at the worst, unless Everton perform a miraculous goal difference swing.

The former Everton and Manchester United manager deserves so much credit for making us a competitive, unified outfit again.

David Moyes issues contract update

The Scot will surely be rewarded by the West Ham owners for the fine job that he’s done in East London.

Moyes spoke to reporters today and suggested that a new deal is currently in the pipeline and is actually all but done, as quoted by Football.London:

We are pretty well done with my contract and hopefully it is something we will get done at the end of the season. I don’t want things to get in the way right now.

Moyes’s original deal with West Ham was due to expire at the end of this season.

Hammers co-owners David Sullivan and David Gold have already triggered a 12-month extension on the Scot’s deal, however. So the Scot will definitely be at the London Stadium next term.

He is surely deserving of a more long-term contract, however.

And judging by Moyes’s comments this afternoon, he may well be getting exactly that in the not too distant future.
