David Moyes has landed a new role just days after West Ham confirmed that the storied manager would be moving away from the London Stadium. 

The Hammers won their first major trophy in over 43 years under Moyes’ stewardship with their clinching of the Europa Conference League title in Prague at the end of last season. 

But after an up-and-down campaign that saw the east London side concede five against a dominant Chelsea team in their last Premier League outing, the club and Moyes called time on their four-and-a-half-year partnership. 

The former Manchester United manager released a statement confirming that he was set to move on at the end of the season ‘by mutual consent’ and added that he had enjoyed the ‘terrific journey’ he had undertaken with the club during his second stint in the dugout. 

But Moyes has wasted no time in finding a new position in the wake of the announcement, with his soon-to-be employers announcing the news on Thursday.

‘Give it Moysey for the Euros,’ talkSPORT shared in a post on social media announcing the appointment. 

‘David Moyes joins the talkSPORT team to provide his expert insight and analysis throughout the tournament.’

No further details have been revealed about Moyes’ role with the broadcaster, but the manager will be joining the likes of France international and Arsenal legend Emmanuel Petit and Everton star Ashley Young in Germany for this summer’s tournament. 

‘With the distinct lack of Scottish football voices on talkSPORT for the Euros tournament – just the five so far with Ally, Alan, Shebahn, Jim and Graeme in the mix – I’m delighted to be another Scot flying the flag for my home team on the best sports network,’ Moyes quipped. 

‘The more the merrier, eh?’ 

West Ham are also believed to have been swift to move on from Moyes’ tenure, with former Wolves head coach Julen Lopetegui agreeing to manage the Hammers ahead of the start of the 2024-25 season. 

Mail Sport revealed last week that the club and the former Real Madrid boss were in advanced talks over the position as Moyes’ contract was set to expire at the end of this term. 

But while Moyes was officially the team’s manager, there will be one small specific change to Lopetegui’s brief, with the Spaniard set to take over as head coach. 

Moyes is not the only former manager that is likely to be targeted by broadcasters as the nation gears up for UEFA’s flagship international tournament.

In March, Mail Sport reported exclusively that ITV and BBC – both of whom will be showing fixtures throughout the competition – were embroiled in a bidding war to secure outgoing Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp. 

The German is thought to be a charismatic, must-watch signing for both of the channels, with BBC reportedly the more aggressive of those seeking his signature. 

Both could however be thwarted in their pursuit of the former Champions League winner – as Klopp has tickets for each of Germany’s three group games. 

Klopp is thought to be keen to switch off after wrapping up his final season at Anfield, months after he announced his resignation citing a ‘lack of energy’ in the involving role.
