The future of David Moyes has been the subject of much speculation since West Ham United secured Premier League status for next season.

West Ham battled against relegation all season long but some good late form saw David Moyes’ side finish in 13th on 42 points.

The 3-1 win over Everton in the season finale at the London Stadium on Sunday was arguably one of West Ham’s best performances under Moyes.

But it looks like being his last too, according to reports on Monday in the likes of BBC Sport.

Survival does not mask what has been another torrid season for the Hammers on and off the pitch and supporters want big changes from unpopular co-owners David Sullivan and David Gold.

The first thing the owners are addressing is the future of Moyes with supporters divided over whether he should be handed a new deal this summer.

It appears the owners have decided to part company with the Scot and a well-placed journalist is claiming to know the reason why.

Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol told Sky Sports News on Monday why the owners want to go in a different direction.

“West Ham are very pleased with the job that he has done while he has been at the club,” Solhekol told Sky Sports.

“He was brought in to make sure that they stayed in the Premier League and he has delivered on that.

“The feeling among the owners David Sullivan and David Gold is that they need a manager to take them further forward.

“They want a big name who is going to bring them success to take the pressure off them.”

The likes of Rafa Benitez, Manuel Pellegrini, Unai Emery and Marco Silva have all been linked with the job.
