A Premier League manager is seemingly being lined up to replace David Moyes as West Ham United manager.
West Ham manager David Moyes is still under pressure in his role at the London Stadium in spite of consecutive Premier League victories.
Numerous names have been linked with taking over from the Scot including the likes of Middlesbrough boss Michael Carrick and recently sacked former Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper.
Listen, the 60-year-old has worked wonders since returning to the London Stadium in 2019. He guided us to our first major trophy in 43 years last season, but the general consensus is that he has reached his ceiling, and can no longer take us forward.
The majority of Hammers fans want to see more entertainment, especially considering the players that Moyes has at his disposal now.
Almost every West Ham fan will admit that the brand football deployed by Moyes has been dire to watch this season. Surely it will soon be time for a change, if we really want to make that jump up to the next level.
I believe that he’ll leave the London Stadium when his contract expires at the end of the season, but which manager are the board looking at to bring in to replace the Scot?
Moyes could be replaced as West Ham manager
According to a report from Give Me Sport, Fulham boss Marco Silva is being eyed up as a replacement for Moyes, when the Scot leaves the London Stadium in the summer.
He was actually linked with taking over from Moyes this time last year when we were struggling near the bottom of the table. Coincidentally, we beat Silva’s Fulham 1-0 at Craven Cottage in April to save Moyes’s job, and the rest is history.
Silva has been moved on from Hull City, Watford and Everton during his time in England, and now finds himself in charge of Fulham.
The 46-year-old has really impressed in his role at Fulham, since taking over at Craven Cottage in the summer of 2021.
However, West Ham would undoubtedly be a big step up on the Cottagers for him, and he surely would jump at the chance to manage the Hammers.
Silva predominantly sets up his team in a 4-2-3-1 formation, although that is extremely fluid and changes in and out of possession. The Portuguese likes to have a tall striker acting as the focal point for his team, and he mixes things up as far as playing out from the back goes.
Sometimes the 46-year-old will have his team play far more direct football whenever the situation calls for it. Fulham play with a very fluid style, and are extremely easy on the eye.
I think Silva would be a decent option to replace Moyes. However, it must be said that he failed at Everton after being heavily backed in the transfer market as well.
Is Marco Silva the man we want or need to replace David Moyes as West Ham manager? I’m not so sure he is you know. I would much prefer someone like Arne Slot or Ruben Amorim.
