West Ham boss Moyes laughs off Klopp 'age' hopes

West Ham United manager David Moyes has responded to Jurgen Klopp this week.

The Liverpool head coach stated he was delighted Moyes had turned around his fortunes at the Hammers.

Klopp said he did not want Moyes to be sacked earlier this season, as it would have made him the league's oldest manager at the time!

Responding to Klopp, Moyes said to reporters: "I remember Jürgen Klopp mentioned it to me earlier in the season [as he was next behind me], and it didn't seem right being the oldest manager in the Premier League.

"It's what longevity does to you, and sometimes if you can stay the course, then you do become the oldest one. Roy (Hodgson) has shown that hopefully there's plenty more years to come as well."
