David Moyes has defended his record at West Ham United.

Moyes took over a struggling Hammers squad last November, on a deal running until the end of the season, and guided them to safety with games to spare, eventually finishing 13th.

He told The Sun: "I have to say we couldn't have done a better job.

"That's why I was disappointed not to be offered the opportunity to stay. I'd taken it to the end of the season to see how I did and how the owners felt.

"From where they were to get them living and breathing again, was probably as successful a season as I could have had.

"By the end I'd decided I wanted to stay if the owners provided me with the funds to strengthen the squad. It disappointed me I didn't at least get a chance to talk about it."
