Lille manager Paulo Fonseca is the top choice for West Ham to potentially replace David Moyes, should the club decide to make a change in management.
Fonseca, who was close to joining Tottenham in the past, has been highly regarded by key individuals at the London Stadium. The Premier League club reportedly reached out to the Portuguese manager last year, but ultimately opted to retain Moyes for another season.
Lille manager Paulo Fonseca is reportedly at the top of West Ham’s list of potential replacements for David Moyes, should the club decide to make a change in management this summer.
It is believed that Fonseca, who was close to joining Tottenham three years ago before Nuno Espirito Santo was appointed, has been highly regarded by key individuals at the London Stadium for some time.
The Premier League club reached out to the Portuguese coach last summer, as per a source, but ultimately opted to retain Moyes for another season.
Despite being in a strong position in both the Europa League and the Premier League, West Ham manager Moyes has divided opinions among fans in east London due to his criticized style of play.
Fonseca’s Lille team in France is known for their attractive style of play, currently sitting in fourth place in Ligue 1. Their upcoming Europa Conference League match against Aston Villa marks their first appearance in a European quarter-final.
The attacking tactics favored by Fonseca are believed to be the key factor in his popularity at West Ham. It is expected that a new manager with a different philosophy will be sought after Moyes’ contract expires in June.
