As David Moyes becomes West Ham's sixth manager since David Sullivan and David Gold bought the club in 2010, he inherits a team lying in the Premier League's bottom three with only Crystal Palace suffering a worse goal difference.
Moyes brings plenty of experience to the job, from managing Manchester United to a disastrous Sunderland team, and having lengthy spells at Preston and Everton besides coaching abroad with Real Sociedad.
Slaven Bilic departed the London Stadium like a man who was almost relieved to lose his job given the complexities of the problems facing West Ham.
