David Moyes anticipates starting talks with the board over an extension to his current contract with West Ham in the coming weeks.
The 60-year-old, who achieved significant success at the club in June, expressed mutual interest in extending his stay and are close to opening talks.
Despite achieving significant success and leading West Ham to their first major trophy since 1980, David Moyes remains the target of criticism from a minority of fans. However, the board is expected to prioritize the benefits of extending Moyes’ tenure beyond the 2023/24 season over any dissenting voices among supporters.
The Scot revealed on Amazon Prime Video that he is ready to begin contract negotiations with the West Ham board.

“I don’t think any of us are rushing into it too quickly; I think we’re happy to make sure we do that. And we will do it. “I don’t see any problem with that at all.”
Without a doubt, David Moyes has achieved results for West Ham during his tenure, leading to a significant rise in the club’s status both domestically and internationally. Increased revenue streams from three consecutive seasons in Europe will likely be a crucial factor for both Moyes and the club’s board when they enter talks in the New Year.
What Moyes has built at West Ham should not be taken for granted. He has helped build the Hammers to the point where they now consistently play in European competitions year after year, as well as performing at a high level in the Premier League. Even if you want more expansive football, will that necessarily mean more wins? Maybe. Maybe not. But right now, both sides have something good, so why throw it away if it’s not sour yet?
