West Ham United are on the lookout for a new manager following the departure of Slaven Bilic.

West Ham are on the lookout for a new manager following the departure of Slaven Bilic.

Bilic has been dismissed by the Hammers following the team’s disappointing results and performances which have seen them drop to the Premier League bottom three.

According to The Guardian, West Ham are set to appoint former Manchester United and Everton boss David Moyes.

It has been reported that Moyes will be handed an initial six-month contract by the Hammers.

Former Rangers and Manchester City midfielder Barton has stated that he is surprised that West Ham have not linked themselves with former Chelsea and Real Madrid manager Ancelotti, who is available at the moment following his departure from German and European giants Bayern Munich earlier this season.

Barton said on The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT on Monday morning (09:12am November 6, 2017): “I am surprised they haven’t linked themselves with Ancelotti because usually they have ideas of grandeur, West Ham, don’t they?”
