West Ham could sack David Moyes if they lose the Europa Conference League final.
The Hammers face Fiorentina on Wednesday in their first European final for 47 years as Moyes’ men try and create even more history. A 3-1 aggregate win over AZ Alkmaar was enough to secure West Ham’s passage to Prague and they will now face the Italian side for a place in the Europa League next season.
However, according to The Guardian, West Ham are giving fresh consideration to parting company with Moyes, increasing the pressure on the Scot ahead of the game against Fiorentina. Moyes was facing the sack earlier in the campaign as the Hammers edged towards a relegation battle, but he managed to keep them safe.

As recently as last week, the expectation was that Moyes would stay after leading them to the Conference League final – and there were positive noises from the board about his future. Moyes guided West Ham a sixth-place finish in his first full season in charge, before helping them to seventh in 2021/22.
However, after a below-par 14th place finish, West Ham are having fresh concerns. They haven’t made a final decision on Moyes’ future and potential replacements are being lined-up. Defeat in Prague would not automatically decide Moyes’ face, but it would put a different complexion on the season.
West Ham have considered Brendan Rodgers, Graham Potter, Paulo Fonseca and at least one unidentified manager as those who could replace Moyes. Rodgers and Potter were sacked by Leicester and Chelsea back in April, while Fonseca is currently at Ligue 1 side Lille.
