David Moyes lands new job just days after West Ham exit announcement
West Ham's outgoing manager, David Moyes, isn't leaving football entirely post his exit from the club after the climax of the 2023/24 season, as he steps straight into a new role.
Moyes' departure from the Hammers by mutual consent, after over four years at the helm, was made public earlier this week. Little time has elapsed since then, but the Scot has not taken a break and already pencilled in his next gig.
Swapping his tracksuit for the commentary mic, Moyes is geared up to join talkSPORTs crew for their EURO 2024 coverage. In a social media post discussing their latest acquisition, talkSPORT wrote: "Give it Moysey for the Euros," further adding, "David Moyes joins the talkSPORT team to provide his expert insight and analysis throughout the tournament."
Joining Moyes in the broadcasters star-studded ensemble are former players Emmanuel Petit and Ashley Young. Additionally, two figures well known to Moyes from his Premier League days, Alan Pardew and Graeme Souness will also be part of the crew in Germany.
As his tenure approaches its conclusion at West Ham, Moyes looks back cherishly on his days with the club. Under his management, the Irons celebrated their maiden European trophy in almost 50 years, reports the Mirror.

David Moyes reflected on his tenure at West Ham with pride, stating: "I have enjoyed four and a half brilliant years at West Ham, and the Club is in a stronger position than when I returned back in 2019," He recalled the challenging circumstances upon his arrival: "When I joined West Ham for a second time, the Club was one place above the relegation zone, and it has been a terrific journey to have achieved three consecutive seasons in Europe."
Moyes highlighted the team's progress under his leadership: "After leading the Club to safety, we guided the team to finishes of 6th and 7th in the Premier League, and I was delighted when we won the Europa Conference League title last June the Club's first major trophy in 43 years."
Expressing gratitude, Moyes said: "I would like to thank all the players for their support, and all the success they have achieved, over the last four and a half years. I have really enjoyed working with everyone at West Ham, and I would like to thank the Board for giving me the opportunity to manage this great Club."
Looking ahead, he offered his best wishes: "I wish my eventual successor, the Directors, the players, the staff, the fans, and everybody at West Ham, all the very best for the future."
