Slaven Bilic sacked by West Ham
Slaven Bilic and West Ham have parted company, with sources saying that David Moyes is set to be appointed later on Monday.
The club dropped into the Premier League’s bottom three following a 4-1 defeat against Liverpool on Saturday and Everton’s victory against Watford.
West Ham have only won two of their 11 Premier League games so far this season, despite making significant additions over the summer including Joe Hart, Pablo Zabaleta, Marko Arnautovic and Javier Hernandez.
In a statement on their official website, they said: “West Ham United can confirm that Slaven Bilic has today left his position with the club.
“The chairmen and board of West Ham United would like to place on record their thanks and gratitude to Slaven and his team for their services over the past two-and-a-half years, but believe a change is now necessary in order for the club to move forward positively and in line with their ambition.
“West Ham United can confirm that Bilic’s coaching assistants Nikola Jurcevic, Edin Terzic, Julian Dicks and Miljenko Rak have also left the club with immediate effect.
“The club’s search for a new manager to take West Ham United forward is underway and an announcement regarding Bilic’s successor is expected to be made over the coming days.”
Former Everton, Manchester United and Sunderland manager Moyes has been identified as his replacement.
