With Slaven Bilic now out as West Ham manager, the search is on to find his replacement.
It appears as if David Moyes will take the job until the end of the season having been out of work since finishing bottom of the Premier League last season with Sunderland, but the Scotsman wasn’t their preferred choice.
David’s Gold and Sullivan seem to have done the rounds to try and replace Bilic, contacting a number of high-profile managers about the job, but were ultimately rejected.
Twitter: West Ham have been rejected by Ancelotti, Koeman, Dyche and Paulo Sousa before finding agreement with Moyes, according to Sky Italy (@tancredipalmeri)
West Ham reportedly approached four managers recently to replace Bilic and were snubbed by them all before settling on appointing Moyes.
Former Premier League managers Carlo Ancelotti and Ronald Koeman seem to have been the first contacted by the board but both esteemed managers turned them down.
Burnley boss Sean Dyche has seen his stock rise this season but even he rejected West Ham as it appears eh could have greater opportunities coming his way.
Ex-QPR, Swansea and Leicester manager Paulo Sousa was also approached, the report claims, but he also rejected the post having just arrived at Chinese Super League side Tianjin Quanjian.
West Ham were clearly aiming higher than Moyes but this is the situation they find themselves in.
