Hammers future revealed by Sky pundit

Darmesh Sheth, the transfer guru at Sky Sports, has shed light on the potential managerial future of West Ham. With a track record of credible information, Sheth suggested in a recent interview that should David Moyes not continue at West Ham United, the club might lean towards appointing a head coach rather than adhering to the traditional football manager role.

This will not come as news to many of us Hammers fans. However it is interesting to hear it from a source in the mainstream media with good contacts at the club.

According to Sheth, the next manager will wield less influence over player recruitment compared to Moyes. This potential shift towards a more continental model would entail technical director Tim Steidten taking the reins in player selection, leaving the head coach with a primary focus on coaching rather than managerial responsibilities.

Sheth remarked; "If he is not to remain at West Ham United, I would expect the next manager to come in to be more of the head coach, and probably less control over the recruitment than Moyes has enjoyed over the past few years."

The Sky man underscored that this approach facilitates an easier change of manager than parting ways with multiple players tied to long-term contracts. He hinted at the prospect that Moyes, acknowledged for his sway in player recruitment, might not secure a new contract, paving the way for the next appointment to align with the described model.
