Football Insider reports that West Ham is contemplating the possibility of hiring a manager with a similar style to Unai Emery to succeed David Moyes in the upcoming summer. While Moyes still has an outstanding offer from the club, West Ham is exploring alternatives in case he departs. Emery, known for his successful stints at clubs like Sevilla, Villarreal, and currently Aston Villa, is viewed as a role model by many emerging managers.
Emery’s noteworthy impact at Aston Villa, guiding them back to European competition after 18 months, has caught West Ham’s attention. The club, currently considering potential successors to Moyes, is particularly interested in securing a manager with Emery’s characteristics. Although there is no indication of Moyes being sacked, the pressure has mounted due to recent results, and he is yet to sign the contract extension offered by the Hammers.
Moyes, despite not being the most entertaining manager, boasts a commendable track record with West Ham, consistently securing European berths and winning the Europa Conference League last season. However, names like Julen Lopetegui and Graham Potter are being linked as potential replacements, reflecting some fans’ dissatisfaction with Moyes’s style of play.
While Potter, the former Brighton and Chelsea boss, has been observed at various venues this season, neither he nor Lopetegui align closely with the sought-after Emery-type manager that West Ham desires. Despite the potential alternatives, the suggestion is that West Ham should not part ways with Moyes, as finding a manager capable of handling the club’s challenges and delivering consistent results might prove challenging.
