West Ham have parted company with manager David Moyes after just six months in charge of the club and claim they will make a new appointment "within the next ten days".
The 55-year-old Scot was on a short-term contract until the end of the season, but according to the London Evening Standard he decided he did not want to renew it having grown disillusioned with his treatment by the club, including reports that joint-chairman David Sullivan had earlier this week interviewed Shakhtar Donetsk coach Paulo Fonesca.
The former Preston, Everton, Manchester United, Real Sociedad and Sunderland boss replaced Slaven Bilic in November with the London Stadium club in the relegation zone and guided them to 13th in the Premier League table.
Hammers picked up seven points from their last nine to steer clear of trouble, with his final game in charge being a 3-1 home win against Everton, who sacked their boss Sam Allardyce earler on Wednesday.
Moyes' assistants Alan Irvine, Stuart Pearce and Billy McKinlay will also leave with immediate effect.
Sullivan said in a statement posted on the club's website: "Throughout his time here, David has carried himself with dignity and honesty and we have all found him to be a pleasure to work with.

Club Statement – David Moyes
West Ham United can confirm David Moyes will leave the Club by mutual consent at the end of the 2023/24 season, when his contract expires.
David will depart after four and a half years in charge at London Stadium, during which time he secured two top-seven Premier League finishes, runs to the UEFA Europa League semi and quarter-finals, and victory in last season’s UEFA Europa Conference League, with a 2-1 win over ACF Fiorentina in Prague securing West Ham’s first major trophy since lifting the FA Cup in 1980, and their first European success since 1965.
Joint-Chairman David Sullivan said: “On behalf of everyone at West Ham United, I would like to offer our sincere thanks and gratitude to David for the contribution he has made to the Football Club during his time as manager.
“David has been responsible for a period of great progress and success in our history, and we are extremely grateful for all of his hard work, commitment and dedication to the role.
“David has been an absolute professional to work with and he will leave with our greatest respect and good wishes – he deserves to be held in the highest esteem for the service he has given to West Ham United, and we wish him every success in the future.
“By making this announcement now, it allows David to get the send-off he deserves from the West Ham supporters and for us all to show our appreciation to him at our final home fixture of the season against Luton Town on Saturday.”
David Moyes said: “I have enjoyed four and a half brilliant years at West Ham, and the Club is in a stronger position than when I returned back in 2019.
“When I joined West Ham for a second time, the Club was one place above the relegation zone, and it has been a terrific journey to have achieved three consecutive seasons in Europe.
“After leading the Club to safety, we guided the team to finishes of 6th and 7th in the Premier League, and I was delighted when we won the Europa Conference League title last June – the Club’s first major trophy in 43 years.
“I would like to thank all the players for their support, and all the success they have achieved, over the last four and a half years.
“I have really enjoyed working with everyone at West Ham, and I would like to thank the Board for giving me the opportunity to manage this great Club.
“I wish my eventual successor, the Directors, the players, the staff, the fans, and everybody at West Ham, all the very best for the future.”
The recruitment process for David’s successor has begun. The Club will be making no further comment until a new appointment is confirmed.

I think he had done a pretty good job at West Ham, but obviously not good enough. I wonder where he will be next if anywhere?
