West Ham may consider pursuing a proven attacking manager from Ligue 1 in the event that David Moyes departs. Just a few weeks ago, it seemed likely that Moyes would receive a new contract from West Ham. However, the team’s winless start to the season has put any potential contract talks on hold for now.
While it is still anticipated that Moyes will have his time with the team extended, there have been rumors about possible replacements for him. It has been reported by Football Fancast that one potential target is Paulo Fonseca of Lille. If West Ham’s poor form continues, the club may have to look for someone else to take over, and Fonseca is a strong candidate.
Fonseca has had a successful career managing clubs in Portugal, Shakhtar Donetsk, Roma, and currently Lille. His style of play contrasts sharply with the current approach of West Ham, as he favors an attacking and possession-based game.
For those who are unhappy with Moyes’ style of football, Fonseca would be a breath of fresh air. He would bring about a dramatic change from Moyes in every aspect, although it remains to be seen whether this is what the club truly needs.
The fact that the club is considering managers who are already employed shows that they are not looking to take the cheap route if there is a change in leadership. They simply need to ensure that whoever they bring in can keep West Ham moving in the right direction.
