Pearce: Moyes wants instant intensity at West Ham

New West Ham assistant coach Stuart Pearce has revealed David Moyes is demanding a lift in intensity.

Moyes was named Slaven Bilic's replacement last week.

“David wants to have an impact quite early on – which is quite understandable – he's used to working with Alan Irvine and Billy [McKinlay ] before," Pearce told talkSPORT.

“I'm the only one he hasn't worked with. It's really just a case of all us finding our level and then using the strengths within our squad from there.

“We've got a manager that likes coaching – and three coaches as well – [so] it gives us the ability to get round all the players and work individually and in units more often maybe than when you've got a lighter squad."

Pearce also believes his spell in the media can help him with his football return.

He added: “I was fortunate enough to work with talkSPORT for two of their three last games - the one at Wembley against Tottenham and the Liverpool game.

“That gave me an insight on their strengths and weaknesses. Going into the football club from the offset, the first thing that grabs your attention is we've conceded more goals than anyone in the Premier League."
