Slaven Bilic has been sacked by West Ham.
The Hammers suffered an embarrassing 4-1 home defeat by Liverpool on Saturday - their sixth Premier League loss of the season; after which, Bilic was summoned to showdown talks with co-owners David Sullivan, David Gold and vice chairman Karren Brady at the club’s Rush Green training ground.
David Moyes is reportedly set to take charge on a six-month deal until the end of the season.
It is understood the new manager will be in charge for West Ham’s next game after the international break, when they travel to Watford on November 19.
Speaking to beIN Sports at the weekend, Moyes admitted he would like to return to management with West Ham.
Sacked after Sunderland were relegated to the Championship last season, the 54-year-old said: "I've always said I want to go back into club management.
“If the right opportunity comes around, I'll be interested.
"I am interested but at the moment that vacancy has not become available. I know what Slaven must be going through."
West Ham statement in full:
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 comino days.
