At the onset of the season, the manager was not anticipated to renew his contract, as his existing deal was set to conclude. However, David Moyes has now conveyed a strong belief that an extension to his West Ham contract “will get done,” signifying his clear expectation to continue as the club’s manager.
Despite earlier reports suggesting an unlikely contract renewal for Moyes, owing to his triumph in securing the Europa Conference League title, the club’s continued progress throughout the current season has seemingly altered the landscape. Following a significant 2-0 victory over Arsenal, which propelled West Ham into the top six with their highest points tally at the halfway mark of a Premier League campaign, Moyes expressed readiness for negotiations: “We are getting ready to talk. I don’t think any of us are jumping to get it done too quickly. We will get it done, I don’t see many problems about it.”
Moyes further indicated a relaxed stance regarding the ongoing situation, emphasizing an enjoyable time at the club and steady progress since his return, asserting, “When we came back here, we came back to make sure West Ham didn’t get relegated. That was four years ago now. Since then, we’ve grown and I think the team are growing and getting better.”
In response to queries about the potential timing for contract negotiations, Moyes conveyed a positive rapport with the club’s board and stakeholders, expressing contentment with the current state of affairs and the team’s performance. This positive sentiment reflects a collaborative and harmonious atmosphere synonymous with the club’s current standing in both domestic and European competitions.
