West Ham squad is stronger than in my first stint - Moyes

David Moyes said he was hit with nostalgia when he returned to West Ham on Monday morning to resume his post as manager - the club that sacked him a year and a half ago.

The Scottish tactician signed an 18-month contract to replace Manuel Pellegrini, who was dismissed after a run of nine defeats in 12 games culminating in a 2-1 loss to Leicester City on Saturday.

Moyes managed the Hammers for seven months in 2017-18, following the sacking of former boss Slaven Bilic in 2017, but was removed in favour of Pellegrini who was supposed to have been seen as a step up in calibre.
