David Moyes has returned to West Ham for a second spell after signing an 18-month contract to become the Hammers' new manager.
Manuel Pellegrini was relieved of his duties after the 2-1 loss to Leicester City on Saturday, and West Ham moved quickly to appoint Moyes, who will take charge of the side's clash against Bournemouth on New Year's Day.
Moyes was previously at the club during the 2017/18 season, when he was brought in to save the club from relegation after Slaven Bilic's sacking.
But the former Everton and Manchester United boss left at the end of the season, with Pellegrini appointed that summer.
Speaking to the official club website, Moyes said: “It’s fabulous to be back.
“It feels great to be home. I’ve missed being here because I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed being around the stadium and I loved being in this part of the world and I missed the Club, so I can’t wait to get started.
“I'm feeling very proud that I’m back here at West Ham. But I think more importantly I’ll be looking to see what I can do and what I can make improvements to, how we can get some wins with the players and how we can get some quick wins on the field as well.
“I do believe that the squad of players I’ve got here is a better squad of players than when I took over before, so I am looking forward to working with them.
“I think there’s got to be a short-term goal for us just now to get the wins to get us away from the wrong end of the league and what we’re going to do over the next six months, then what we’re going to do over the next period as well. The start is really focusing on the immediate games.”
Moyes will be joined by Alan Irvine and Stuart Pearce, who previously assisted the Scot in his last spell in east London.
