Eight staff leave West Ham with Moyes

Eight staff have departed West Ham with David Moyes ahead of Julen Lopetegui's appointment as the club’s new Head Coach.

Moyes left the club at the end of the season after four-and-a-half years, having won the 2023 UEFA Europa Conference League and secured three top-nine Premier League finishes.

The staff who have left with him are:

• Kevin Nolan (Assistant)
• John Heitinga (First-Team Coach)
• Henry Newman (Assistant)

Osman had been with the club for 13 years, joining from Portsmouth and working with the Academy then first team. Writing on LinkedIn, he said: “It’s been an incredible experience from the Championship through to winning the Europa Conference League and I’m immensely proud of the department that has been built over my time at the club.

"I’ve worked with some great people during my time at West Ham and wish them every success. Looking forward to the future.”

In a statement, West Ham said: “The club would like to thank Billy, Kevin, John, Henry, Rob, Alan, Nick and Jamie for their hard work, commitment and dedication to West Ham United and wish each of them all the very best in the future.”

Lopetegui took seven staff (pictured below) with him when he joined Wolves in November 2022, although Fran Gazarga is now Sporting Director of Espanyol and would be unlikely to move with him to West Ham,

• Pablo Sanz (Assistant)
• Juan Peinado (Assistant)
• Edu Rubio (First-Team Coach)
• Oscar Caro (Fitness Coach)
• Borja De Alba (Strength & Conditioning Coach)
• Daniel Lopetegui (Performance Analyst and manager’s son)

Assistant Mark Robson and Goalkeeper Coach Xavi Valero look set to stay at the club.
