David Moyes ‘to be appointed new West Ham boss’ after Manuel Pellegrini sacked

David Moyes is reportedly set to be appointed West Ham’s new manager after Manuel Pellegrini was sacked on Saturday

Pellegrini was given the boot after West Ham lost 2-1 to Leicester City in what was their fourth straight home defeat.

Former Hammers boss Moyes is the early front runner to replace Pellegrini in the hotseat at London Stadium.

And Moyes is set to meet the club’s powerbrokers on Sunday ahead of being appointed as manager, according to various sources.

However, reports claims the club wants to meet other contenders as well, with Chris Hughton, Tony Pulis and Sam Allardyce all having been touted as potential candidates.

Moyes was linked with a return to another of his former clubs recently after Everton sacked manager Marco Silva, but Carlo Ancelotti eventually landed the job.
