English Premier League side West Ham United are set to announce David Moyes as coach following the sacking of Slaven Bilic on Monday morning.

Bilic was relieved off his duties as coach of the Hammers after their 4-1 home loss to Liverpool on Saturday, which left them 17th minute on the standings.

Reports in the UK indicate that, the club are in advance talks with former Manchester United manager David Moyes to take up the reins at the London Stadium.

Bilic was thought to be on the brink of leaving West Ham last month when his side were thrashed by Brighton.

However, Ghana's Andre Ayew handed him a brief of respite in the Carabao Cup when he climbed off the bench to score two quick goals in their 3-2 win against Tottenham Hotspurs at Wembley Stadium.

The Hammers threw away two points at Crystal Palace, a game which the Black Stars deputy captain scored again before the 4-1 defeat to Liverpool proved to be the final nail in the coffin.
