David Moyes is reportedly set to be appointed the West Ham United manager.
West Ham are on the lookout for a new manager at the moment following the departure of Slaven Bilic.
Bilic parted company with the Hammers earlier today, with the team currently languishing in the Premier League bottom three.
According to The Guardian, former Manchester United and Everton boss David Moyes will be appointed the new manager of West Ham.
It has been reported that the Scotsman will be given an initial six-month contract by the Hammers.
Former Liverpool and Aston Villa striker Collymore has suggested that Moyes is not the right manager for the Hammers.
Collymore has suggested that former Newcastle United boss Sam Allardyce would be the better option.
Allardyce was in charge of the Hammers from 2011 and 2015, and has since been the manager at Sunderland and Crystal Palace and also the England national football team.
“Slaven Bilic is toast – and David Moyes will be a toxic replacement,” Collymore wrote in The Mirror. “What West Ham need, particularly the way their fans react to things, is to feel inspired.
“They need somebody to follow and get behind. But David Moyes is such a flat, dejected type character that will never get a chance if he has two or three bad results.”
“Maybe they should just give him a couple of million quid until the end of the season and say right ‘you’re only staying until the end of the season, we’re going to make it worth your while’,” added Collymore about Allardyce.
“He is a big jolly fella, big smile on his face, much more relevant in terms of Premier League football and getting teams out of the trouble than Moyes is.
“Then at the end of the season, say to Allardyce, be on an advisory board to find a young hungry coach from around Europe who can take this club on.”
