West Ham have announced that David Moyes will leave the club at the end of the season.
A statement from West Ham on Monday evening read: ‘West Ham United can confirm David Moyes will leave the Club by mutual consent at the end of the 2023/24 season, when his contract expires.
‘David will depart after four and a half years in charge at London Stadium, during which time he secured two top-seven Premier League finishes, runs to the UEFA Europa League semi and quarter-finals, and victory in last season’s UEFA Europa Conference League, with a 2-1 win over ACF Fiorentina in Prague securing West Ham’s first major trophy since lifting the FA Cup in 1980, and their first European success since 1965.
‘The recruitment process for David’s successor has begun.’
Moyes said in the statement: ‘I have enjoyed four and a half brilliant years at West Ham, and the Club is in a stronger position than when I returned back in 2019.
‘When I joined West Ham for a second time, the Club was one place above the relegation zone, and it has been a terrific journey to have achieved three consecutive seasons in Europe.
‘After leading the Club to safety, we guided the team to finishes of 6th and 7th in the Premier League, and I was delighted when we won the Europa Conference League title last June – the Club’s first major trophy in 43 years.
‘I would like to thank all the players for their support, and all the success they have achieved, over the last four and a half years.
‘I have really enjoyed working with everyone at West Ham, and I would like to thank the Board for giving me the opportunity to manage this great Club.
‘I wish my eventual successor, the Directors, the players, the staff, the fans, and everybody at West Ham, all the very best for the future.’
