Reports have suggested that David Moyes could be set to leave West Ham at the end of the season.
Former West Ham United captain Kevin Nolan has told TalkSPORT that he believes David Moyes is the right man for the job at the London Stadium despite reports suggesting he could lose his job.
It had been reported earlier this week that Moyes would lose his job at the end of the season, but the Hammers posted a statement on their club website denying the claims – even though the Scot’s contract expires at the end of the season.
The London Evening Standard then reported that Moyes will be offered a new deal at West Ham if he can keep the east Londoners in the Premier League, avoiding relegation to the Championship.
With conflicting reports making it unclear whether Moyes will remain, former Hammers midfielder and now Notts County manager Nolan believes Moyes deserves time at West Ham and that he is the “right man for the job”.
“It was a job which was always going to be tough after Slaven – he was a fan favourite who was then sacked, so whoever went in afterwards was always going to find it hard,” Nolan said.
“I thought David Moyes did fantastically well to turn it around and I think he will still keep them up, I think they’ve got enough quality. At the minute I feel the fans are a bit discontented because they don’t feel like it’s home.
“I speak to them most weeks. I really believe they’ll be okay and that Moyes is the right man for the job at the minute.”
West Ham currently sit in 12th place but are just three points above the Premier League relegation zone after their disappointing 3-1 loss to Brighton on Saturday afternoon.
All eyes will be on former Everton and Manchester United manager Moyes on Saturday as the Hammers take on Watford at the London Stadium, with the Hornets in buoyant mood after earning an excellent 4-1 win over Chelsea on Monday.
