Former Everton and Manchester United boss David Moyes has confirmed that he is interested in succeeding Slaven Bilic as manager of West Ham.

Moyes has been without a job since parting ways with Sunderland at the end of last season and Bilic is under immense pressure given that the Hammers have only taken 9 points from 11 games so far this season.

This has led to speculation suggesting that Moyes could be a potential candidate to replace Bilic.

The owners of the east London club, David Gold and David Sullivan, reportedly believe that Bilic has been given enough time to try and turn around the fortunes of the club and Sky Sports have reported that Moyes has been asked about replacing him.

Moyes told beIN Sports: "I've had no contact with West Ham but I've always said I want to go back into club management and if the right opportunity comes around then I'll be interested.

"I've been there myself, I know what Slaven is going through at the moment. He must be hating it and wanting to get a result as quickly as he can. If it becomes available yes, but at the moment it's not available.

"I don't know if Scotland is right for me now and, as I have said, my preference is to get back into club management. For me to get back in it means there's a manager going to have to lose his job and I wouldn't wish that upon anybody."
