​New boss Moyes says his Premier League pedigree ideal for West Ham

New West Ham boss David Moyes says the Hammers are getting an experienced Primer League manager who knows all about winning games.

Moyes, who replaces the sacked Manuel Pellegrini, left the Hammers at the end of the 2017-18 season.

"They are getting a very experienced Premier League manager," said Moyes.

"I think there's only two or three managers with a better Premier League win record. That's what I do, I win.

"I'm here to get West Ham wins and get them away from the bottom three."

He is still assembling his backroom staff but it will include Alan Irvine, his assistant during his first spell at the east London club.

"It showed quite a lot of class from the owners to ask me back," Moyes said. "David Sullivan and David Gold were excellent. It was very simple. I said 'I can't wait' when I got asked to come back.

"We didn't talk about the future or the past, we spoke about the position the team are in now and it went very well."

He added: "It says an awful lot about the owners that they think the job I did with my backroom staff [was good enough] to give me another chance. This time, I'm going to give them no chance but to extend me.

"There is a clause in my contract to extend the deal. I'm going to make it impossible that that clause can't be activated. It's up to the players to make sure of that now."
