(Baonghean.vn) - West Ham's impressive results recently are largely thanks to their new manager, David Moyes. The former Man Utd coach is showing a strong resurgence at his new club, West Ham.

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

Nominated by legend Sir Alex Ferguson as his successor in the hot seat at Old Trafford, manager David Moyes has failed to live up to the expectations of the Manchester United board and fans.

Unable to help the "Red Devils" achieve the expected success in the 2013/2014 season, manager David Moyes had to pack his bags and leave the "Theatre of Dreams" after only 10 months in charge.

While unemployed, the former Everton manager accepted an offer to lead Real Sociedad in La Liga during the 2014/2015 season. However, in the relatively unfamiliar environment of Spanish football, David Moyes did not last long at Anoeta Stadium due to the poor results the Basque team consistently suffered.

Immediately after parting ways with Real Sociedad, manager David Moyes decided to take over as manager of Sunderland. Unfortunately, under the leadership of the strategist born in 1963, the "Black Cats" played worse and worse and were relegated to the Championship. And David Moyes had to leave the Stadium of Light.

During his seven months of unemployment, manager David Moyes received several offers from less well-known teams, but he rejected them all. It wasn't until West Ham made a rather attractive offer that the Scottish strategist accepted a six-month contract.

David Moyes's task is nothing less than helping West Ham avoid relegation this season. The news that West Ham's management had chosen David Moyes to replace manager Bilic has met with a wave of criticism from the club's fans.

David Moyes' start at West Ham couldn't have been worse. In his first home game, the team nicknamed "the Hammers" suffered a humiliating 0-2 defeat at home against Watford. Witnessing the poor performance of the West Ham players against Watford, many fans booed, cursed, and demanded that David Moyes be sacked.

Things haven't improved, with David Moyes' West Ham drawing 1-1 with Leicester City, followed by a crushing 0-4 defeat against struggling Everton.

Not many people believed the Scottish manager would stay with West Ham until the end of this season. But everything suddenly changed dramatically.Following their disappointing 1-2 defeat to hosts Man City, a match in which West Ham played exceptionally well and only conceded in the final minutes of the second half, manager David Moyes' influence began to become more apparent in the Hammers' style of play.

In their last three Premier League matches, West Ham have earned seven points (two wins, one draw). Notably, of those seven points, David Moyes' team defeated Chelsea (1-0) and drew with Arsenal (0-0).

West Ham's 3-0 victory away at Stoke City in the 17th round of matches helped them escape the relegation zone for the first time this season. With 17 points and currently sitting in 15th place, West Ham fans no longer harbor the animosity and contempt for manager David Moyes that they once did.

It's no exaggeration to say that West Ham's resurgence is a reflection of manager David Moyes's resurgence after months of darkness.
