West Ham boss David Moyes hopes he'll have time to build his squad.

After saving the club at the end of a short contract in 2018, West Ham said thanks but no thanks as they appointed Manuel Pellegrini. When that move did not work out and they found themselves one place above the bottom three at the turn of the year, West Ham ignored advice about 'not going back' and turned again to Moyes.

This time, the 57-year-old has one more season on his contract to begin the building process of a club with huge potential but which hasn't been reached in recent times.

Moyes told the London Evening Standard: “This one has been one of the toughest periods I've had in management. It said a lot about the club's owners that they were big enough to come back for me, knowing that I had done a good job the first time. My history is one of building clubs, picking young players. I have ideas of how things should look and West Ham are a prime club for that. It has incredible potential which is a bit untapped. There are a lot of things going for this club. Do I think we can go from the position we're in to right at the top? No — let's be more realistic."
