West Ham United boss David Moyes believes "risks have paid off" during his second stint with the club.

The Scottish veteran was re-appointed as Hammers boss in 2019, after Manuel Pellegrini lost his job.

The 59-year-old has now turned the club into a perennial European qualifier, finishing 7th in the Premier League last term.

"When I came back the second time, I said I'm going to give this a go because it might have been my last time, who knows?" Moyes told Graham Hunter's 'The Big Interview' Podcast.

"I'd done a couple of jobs that hadn't quite worked so I probably thought I'm nearly having to throw my ace card on the table here, see how this goes, gamble and take a few risks.

"I think the risks have paid off. It's the way I want to be, I want to challenge the top managers, the elite teams and I want to see if we can stay around the top."
