David Moyes has left West Ham United following the end of his short-term contract as manager, the Premier League club has confirmed.

West Ham expects to appoint a ‘high-calibre figure’ within the next 10 days after confirming Moyes will not be kept on as manager.

The former Manchester United manager took over from Slaven Bilic in November following a poor start to the season which saw the Hammers plunge into the relegation battle.

Despite successfully keeping West Ham in the Premier League, the club has decided not to extend his six-month contract.

The Scotsman has become the second managerial post-season casualty after Everton confirmed earlier today that Sam Allardyce had been relieved of his duties.
