West Ham could replace David Moyes with Kieran McKenna as the Englishman continues his fine work at Ipswich.
That is according to the Guardian.
So, what is the situation involving West Ham and Kieran McKenna? Let’s take a look…
7 Biggest DOWNGRADES In Football History
West Ham could hire Kieran McKenna
Well – according to the Guardian – Crystal Palace have actually failed with an approach to hire McKenna as a replacement for Roy Hodgson.
However – within the article – it is also said that the man with 98 career wins is a contender to replace Moyes at the London Stadium.
Pressure is mounting on the Scot after Sunday’s 6-0 defeat against Arsenal, which marked seven games without a win in all competitions.
Jacob Steinberg of the Guardian claimed after Sunday’s hammering that the mood around West Ham had changed in regards to the hierarchy’s thoughts on a new contract for Moyes.
He wrote on X (previously known as Twitter): “Despite positivity last month there’s now no guarantee that West Ham will end up giving David Moyes a new deal. Some still expect him to stay but recent form has changed the mood. Further talks planned later in the season, West Ham hoping to see improvement in results.”

Kieran McKenna would be an exciting appointment by West Ham
In our view, McKenna would be a great choice to replace Moyes.
The 37-year-old has done a remarkable job in his first senior management role at Ipswich, steering the Tractor Boys into the Championship following a memorable 2022/23 League One campaign.
McKenna – who left his role as manager of Tottenham’s U18 side in 2009 – won 98 points from a possible 138 last season, and he has not stopped there.

The Londoner has since overseen 17 wins from 30 games in the Championship to have Ipswich sat fourth – with promotion still a real possibility.
If McKenna fails to guide Ipswich into the Premier League, he could end up there himself with West Ham.
Be sure to keep an eye on this situation, as anything could happen this summer.
