West Ham midfielder Rice: We're all delighted Moyes is back

Declan Rice insists David Moyes is the right man to lead West Ham United.

Moyes' second stint at London Stadium got off to the best possible start with a 4-0 win over Bournemouth on Wednesday.

Speaking after the game, Rice revealed how Moyes has already rejuvenated his squad.

"Last time, he built something and deserved to stay on, but he did not get the chance to build on that," said the England midfielder. "But now he has got that long contract, so he can get the players he wants, because last time he did not get a transfer window.

"Hopefully, he can build something, the fans can be happy and we can go from there. You do not manage Everton for 11 years and get the United job if you are not a good manager.

"The lads are delighted to have him back and it is a really good appointment, because he will get us back to where we need to be."

"It feels like he has taken a weight off our shoulders. It is a great start."
