Under pressure West Ham boss David Moyes teams up with Man United manager Erik Ten Hag and PSG chief for the World Cup break.
West Ham fans will be hoping Moyes can pick the brains of the man at the helm of his former club Manchester United as he bids to turn things around when the Premier League resumes.
The Hammers went into the six-week shutdown off the back of a 2-0 defeat to Leicester, West Ham’s third home defeat in six days.
Meanwhile it was quite the opposite for Man United and Ten Hag as the Red Devils scored a last minute winner to beat Fulham 2-1 and go into the break on a high.
The atmosphere at West Ham was starting to turn a touch toxic with calls for Moyes to be sacked. And Moyes believes the break could be a good thing for his side.
The good mood surrounding Man United has been dampened somewhat after the now infamous new Cristiano Ronaldo interview with Piers Morgan gave Ten Hag a big problem to solve.
West Ham are hovering just above the relegation zone and Man United are pushing for a Champions League spot.
So Hammers fans will be hoping the Manchester United manager and other top coaches can rub off on Moyes after Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol revealed they are getting together.
West Ham boss Moyes is teaming up with Man United manager Ten Hag and the likes of PSG chief Christophe Galtier for the World Cup break.
Moyes, Ten Hag and Galtier will also be joined by out of work Thomas Tuchel, Carlo Ancelotti and Luciano Spalletti at a special UEFA forum.
“Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag in Switzerland for UEFA Elite Club Coaches Forum,” Solhekol revealed on Twitter.
“Ancelotti, Spalletti, Galtier, Tuchel, Moyes etc all there.
“Discussed refereeing, VAR and “player behaviour”.
Let’s hope Moyes also gets a chance to pick the brains of some top, modern progressive coaches.
The Scot has – like he was at Man United – been criticised for his tactics and team selection with West Ham on a dreadful run of just 13 wins in their last 42 Premier League games.
Many supporters feel Moyes must adopt a more front-foot, attacking approach to get the best out of the £170m worth of talent West Ham purchased in the summer.
