Two reported West Ham manager targets Vincent Kompany and Michael Carrick have been named on a shortlist.

David Moyes has found himself under intense pressure with a growing section of West Ham fans calling for his head for some time now.

And despite two vital wins in a week boosting West Ham’s Premier League survival chances, many believe the Hammers will part company with the Scot come the summer.

A recent report claimed West Ham will part ways with Moyes in the summer ‘regardless’ of what happens between now and then.

That remains to be seen of course. And it is difficult to envisage the Hammers waving goodbye to Moyes if he keeps the club up and goes on to win the Europa Conference League.

One thing is for certain, Moyes looks set to be the manager until the summer at the very least.

And that may prove to be the correct decision all things considered with little evidence elsewhere – bar one or two examples – that changing manager mid-season produces vastly improved results.

West Ham have been linked with a host of managers as potential replacements come the summer, though.

The likes of Graham Potter, Brendan Rodgers, Will Still, Michael Carrick and even Vincent Kompany have been linked with the Hammers hotseat.

Kompany has been linked with the Hammers and has been urged to join West Ham should an offer materialise in the summer (Football League World).

Meanwhile Give Me Sport claim the ‘intriguing rise’ of Carrick at Middlesbrough has caught the eye of West Ham majority stakeholder David Sullivan.
