English football club West Ham United have reappointed David Moyes as head coach on an 18-month deal to replace the sacked Manuel Pellegrini.
Moyes begins work immediately ahead of the New Year’s Day fixture with AFC Bournemouth at London Stadium.
Moyes, 56, returns to West Ham for a second stint after he saved the club from relegation in the 2017-18 campaign during a six-month deal and he will face the same task with the Hammers 17th in the standings — a point above the relegation zone.
Pellegrini was sacked after Saturday’s 2-1 home defeat by Leicester City, their seventh loss in nine games after a promising start to the season.
