New name linked with the West Ham United manager’s job as David Sullivan eyes 44-year-old Dutchman to replace David Moyes.

David Sullivan is keen to appoint current Feyenoord manager Arne Slot when David Moyes is moved on from West Ham, according to a report from The Times.

Moyes has performed terribly in his role as Hammers manager this season, certainly domestically.

It could be argued that the only reason he is still in a job at the London Stadium is West Ham’s fine form in Europe.

However, it has been claimed that Moyes will be moved on in the summer, regardless of what happens between now and the end of the season.

And it seems as though there is one man in particular on Sullivan’s radar…

New name linked with West Ham manager’s job

According to a report from The Times, the Hammers are eyeing current Feyenoord manager Arne Slot as a replacement for Moyes in the summer.

Slot, 44, took over at Feyenoord in the summer of 2021 and has taken the Dutch giants to another level in under two years.

He guided them to a third place finish in his first season at De Kuip. The Dutchman also took his side to the Europa Conference League final last season, only to lose to Roma in the final, but things have got even better since then.

Feyenoord currently sit top of the table, with an eight point lead over second placed Ajax with only six games left to play this season.

Slot deploys an attacking brand of free-flowing football at Feyenoord and I think he’d be the ideal man to usher West Ham into an exciting new era of success.

He predominantly uses a 4-2-3-1 system but also switches up to a 4-3-3 at times. Slot’s managerial style has been likened to Marcelo Bielsa.

The Feyenoord boss likes his full-backs to push high up the pitch with his two centre-back’s splitting and a ‘ball-playing’ goalkeeper essentially becoming a third defender.

Arne Slot is definitely a manager with an innovative, fresh approach to the game and he could work wonders at the London Stadium.

The new name being linked with West Ham manager’s job is an exciting one and I am convinced if he comes to the club at the end of the season, there will be really exciting times ahead for the Hammers.
