David Moyes has called on the West Ham supporters to ‘get right behind the team’ and help spark the results needed to get them out of trouble.

Speaking to the club’s official website, Moyes said: “I’m really looking forward to meeting the supporters, being in the stadium with them.

“I’m looking forward to seeing them getting right behind the team, and my team also.

“We need the support, we need everybody with us.

“It’s a big job we have in hand now, but I’m sure with everybody together, we can get the right results between now and the end of the season.”

Standard Sport understands that Moyes has signed a short-term deal, with the option to extend at the end of the season.

Meanwhile, joint-chairman David Sullivan said of the appointed: "This is a unique position for David Gold and myself - it is the first time in almost eight years at West Ham United that we have appointed a new manager during the season.

“We need somebody with experience, knowledge of the Premier League and the players in it, and we believe David is the right man to turn things around and get the best out of the players at the Club. 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.”
