West Ham United manager David Moyes could be replaced at the London Stadium at the end of the season.

David Moyes has received heavy criticism in his role as West Ham boss this season, and he may well be replaced before the start of the 2024/25 campaign.

The 60-year-old Hammers manager has been heavily tipped for the sack pretty much all season long, but as things stand, no decision will be made until the end of the season.

West Ham are currently sitting in seventh spot in the Premier League table, and have a Europa League quarter-final tie against Bayer Leverkusen to look forward to next month.

However, should the Hammers suffer a bad run of form over the next couple of months, the club may well part ways with Moyes.

Worryingly, the likes of Steve Cooper have been tipped to replace Moyes and if he really is in contention for the job, I’d prefer that we kept the Scot.

However, now another name is being pushed for the West Ham hot-seat…

The Scot could still remain as Hammers boss beyond the end of the season, especially if we finish this campaign strongly.

However, if things don’t go to plan, it would be no surprise if he’s moved on.

And Ipswich Town gaffer Kieran McKenna has been tipped to take over from Moyes by talkSPORT pundit Darren Bent, when speaking on Ben Foster’s YouTube channel:

“That’s the only worry. He’s been phenomenal, and if Ipswich don’t go up… There’s so many people that would take him I think. West Ham potentially with David Moyes. There’s so many options.”

McKenna, 37, has been linked with the West Ham manager’s job recently, and it’s no surprise, given the incredible job he’s done with Ipswich.

McKenna has Ipswich Town flying high in third position in the Championship table, just one point adrift of league leaders Leeds United.

Ipswich have played some wonderful football this season, and McKenna has earned rave reviews for his direct, quick and scintillating attacking football.

He is well-renowned for giving his attacking players plenty of creative freedom to express themselves and is highly regarded as a gifted and astute tactician.

If David Moyes is replaced by Keiran McKenna in the summer, it will undoubtedly be an interesting appointment from the West Ham board.
