West Ham United finds themselves in a precarious position as they navigate the uncertainty surrounding manager David Moyes’ future.
Amidst reports of Moyes considering his options, the club has been proactive in exploring potential replacements, conducting due diligence on Sporting Lisbon’s Ruben Amorim and former Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui.
While discussions with Amorim have been reported, West Ham has chosen to remain tight-lipped about the situation.
With Moyes’ contract set to expire soon and no public declaration about his plans, the club’s thorough evaluation of managerial options reflects prudent future planning.
The recent setback of a heavy defeat against Crystal Palace has cast a shadow over West Ham’s ambitions of securing European football for the fourth consecutive season.
Sitting in eighth place with only four games remaining, including daunting fixtures against Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester City, the road ahead is challenging.
Despite Moyes orchestrating last season’s historic Europa Conference League triumph, the club’s recent form has been underwhelming, winning just four out of 21 games in 2024.
This inconsistency has amplified the need for the club to consider all possibilities as they aim to sustain competitiveness in the Premier League and potentially on the European stage.
