The mark of the former Man Utd captain

(Baonghean.vn) - West Ham's impressive results in recent times are largely due to new captain David Moyes. The former Man Utd coach is showing his strong revival at his new team - West Ham.

It seemed like the Scottish strategist's career was over after disappointing spells at Man Utd, Real Sociedad and Sunderland.

Nominated by legendary Sir Alex Ferguson as the successor to the hot seat at Old Trafford, coach David Moyse has not proven his talent as expected by the board of directors and Man Utd fans.

Unable to help the "red devils" achieve the expected success in the 2013/2014 season, coach David Moyes had to pack his bags and leave the "theater of dreams" after only 10 months in office.

While unemployed, the former Everton coach accepted an invitation to lead Real Sociedad in La Liga in the 2014/2015 season. However, in the rather unfamiliar environment of Spanish football, David Moyes could not stay long at Anoeta Stadium, due to the poor results that the Basque team had to face.

Immediately after leaving Real Sociedad, coach David Moyes decided to take over as Sunderland’s captain. Unfortunately, under the leadership of the strategist born in 1963, the “black cat” played worse and worse and had to play in the First Division. Coach David Moyes had to say goodbye to the Stadium of Light.

During his 7 months of unemployment, coach David Moyes also received a number of offers from little-known teams, but he refused them all. It was not until West Ham made a rather attractive offer that the Scottish strategist agreed to sign a 6-month contract.

David Moyes' mission is nothing more than helping West Ham stay in the league this season. The news that West Ham's board of directors has chosen David Moyes to replace coach Bilic has met with a wave of criticism from the team's fans.

David Moyes’ start at West Ham couldn’t have been worse. In his first match in front of the home fans, the team nicknamed “the hammers” suffered a humiliating 0-2 defeat at home against Watford. Witnessing the West Ham players’ poor performance in the match against Watford, many fans booed, cursed and demanded that coach David Moyes be fired from the team.

Things have not improved yet, when David Moyes' West Ham were held to a draw by Leicester City (1-1), then suffered a crushing defeat against the crisis-stricken Everton (0-4).

Not many people believed that the Scottish strategist would stick with West Ham until the end of this season. But everything suddenly changed dramatically.After the unfortunate 1-2 defeat against the home team Man City, a match in which West Ham played extremely well and only lost in the last minute of the second half, the mark of coach David Moyes began to become clearer in the playing style of the "hammers".

In the last 3 matches in the Premier League, West Ham has won 7 points (2 wins, 1 draw). It is worth mentioning that in the 7 points just won, coach David Moyes and his team defeated Chelsea (1-0) and drew with Arsenal (0-0).

The 3-0 victory at Stoke City in the 17th round helped West Ham escape the danger zone for the first time since the beginning of the season. With 17 points and the current 15th position, West Ham fans no longer have the same hatred and contempt for coach David Moyes as before.

It is not an exaggeration to say that West Ham's revival is the revival of coach David Moyes after months of living in darkness./.
