David Moyes Claims He Deserved to Remain as West Ham Manager After He 'Got the Results'

Former West Ham manager David Moyes believes that he deserved to stay on, after being replaced by Manuel Pellegrini last summer.

The Scotsman took over the Hammers in November 2017 with the club lingering in the relegation zone, in the end steering the club to 13th position, nine points off safety. However, Moyes was given the role with a short-term contract lasting only until the end of the season, and was never seriously considered as a permanent option.

Moyes has claimed that he should have nevertheless been given more time based on the quality of his work while at the club.
