west ham united has final sack their head coach if they lose final as faith wanes again
\
In an effort to put more pressure on David Moyes before of Wednesday’s Europa Conference League final against Fiorentina, West Ham is reconsidering ending their partnership with the manager.
It’s believed that the club’s faith in Moyes’ ability to stay has declined since the Premier League season concluded, which is an indication of indecision. The Scot’s future may hinge on West Ham winning a major trophy for the first time in forty-three years, according to sources.
Even as recently as last week, there was speculation that Moyes would stay in his position after guiding West Ham to their first European final since 1976. The board expressed optimism following the team’s semifinal triumph over AZ Alkmaar. West Ham triumphed in their fight against relegation as well.
While a final decision is still pending, West Ham is considering possible substitutes. If West Ham defeated Fiorentina in Prague, it is believed that nothing could alter. While a loss would not necessarily result in Moyes’s dismissal, it would alter the tone of the campaign.
Despite spending over £160 million last summer, West Ham, who have had Brendan Rodgers, Graham Potter, Paulo Fonseca, and at least one anonymous manager under consideration, had a dismal league campaign, finishing 14th. Board members are not happy with many of the signings. Potential contenders for the position of director of football at West Ham have been advised that Declan Rice will be sold this summer.
Thomas Tuchel has spoken with Rice, the West Ham captain, about Bayern Munich’s interest in him, but the midfielder is hesitant to leave England, and Arsenal is still the team that wants to sign him. Newcastle, Chelsea, and Manchester United are also interested.
After guiding West Ham to sixth place in 2021 and seventh the following year, Moyes has plenty of credit. One could qualify for the Europa League the following season by winning the Conference League. The team has lagged behind Moyes, who is still in possession of the dressing room.
Nonetheless, at least twice this season, the manager has been on the verge of being fired. It’s thought that if West Ham had lost to Everton in January, Rafael Benítez was supposed to take his position. If Fulham had defeated West Ham at the beginning of April, Moyes would have been fired.
Complaints about Moyes’s strategies, which are thought to be unduly cautious, have been a major issue. Italy striker Gianluca Scamacca has struggled, according to Michail Antonio, because he is not a strong enough fighter for West Ham’s physical style. Moyes was asked to address these comments on Friday. Scamacca hasn’t had much of an effect since coming from Sassuolo for £35.5 million last summer. He will miss the final due to a knee injury.
Antonio, who may try to quit, stated on the Filthy Fellas podcast that he is a good player. His inability to play in the same manner as the gaffer is the issue. To play the kind of football he does, a different kind of manager is required. You can tell that he is neat and the ball sticks to him as it enters him. However, under David Moyes’ style of play, being up front means dealing with scraps and needing to be more of a fighter.
“I have no issues with Gianluca,” stated Moyes. Gianluca is a fantastic football player and someone we truly admire, but he has, regrettably, missed time this season due to injury. Although Micky has his own opinions, we won’t delve into that.
Moyes brushed off concerns that if West Ham defeated Fiorentina, he may decide to leave on a high note. Additionally, he dismissed ideas that, should Ange Postecoglou leave Celtic for Tottenham, he may take his place at Celtic.
The manager of Fiorentina, Vincenzo Italiano, has stated that his team may attempt to impede West Ham’s counterattacking strategy by committing tactical fouls. Moyes stated, “That would be up to the referees to resolve.”
