West Ham United manager David Moyes is still under pressure, despite Monday’s 4-2 win over Brentford.
David Moyes has achieved remarkable results as the West Ham manager, but the stark reality is that his performance in the role has been dismal over the past couple of months. There were warnings before the Brentford match that continued defeats could lead to Moyes losing his job.
Now, facing upcoming matches against Everton, Burnley, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United in the Premier League, along with the Europa League last-16 clash against Freiburg, Moyes must ensure his team avoids another downward spiral in form. This stretch of games will determine the outcome of our season, and if we struggle significantly, it’s not unlikely for Moyes to be replaced.
Nevertheless, I still believe any decision regarding a change will likely be deferred until the season’s end. Anton Ferdinand, a former Hammer, has suggested a potential replacement for Moyes if such a change occurs.
Ferdinand tips 46-year-old to replace Moyes as West Ham manager.
The ex-West Ham defender discussed potential managerial changes with his brother Rio on ‘Rio Ferdinand Presents FIVE’ on February 28th. Ferdinand suggested Eddie Howe as a strong candidate if Moyes were to depart, noting that Howe might not stay at Newcastle due to their lack of Champions League prospects. He praised Howe’s youth, hunger, and ability to lead a rebuild, highlighting his past success at Newcastle and his appealing high-intensity playing style. Despite a challenging season due to injuries, the speaker believes Howe could excel at West Ham and be an ideal replacement for Moyes.
