West Ham have appointed David Moyes as their new manager.

The former Everton, Manchester United and Sunderland boss replaces Slaven Bilic, who was sacked on Monday with the club in the Premier League relegation zone.

Moyes has been out of work since May, when he resigned as Sunderland boss after relegation to the Championship.

Hammers joint-chairman David Sullivan said the 54-year-old Scot is "the right man to turn things around".

He added: "We need somebody with experience, knowledge of the Premier League and the players in it, and we believe David can get the best out of the players.

"He is highly regarded and respected within the game and will bring fresh ideas, organisation and enthusiasm.

"He proved with Everton that he has great qualities and we feel that West Ham United is a club that will give David the platform to display those qualities again."

Moyes' first game in charge will be at Watford in the Premier League on 19 November.
