‘Must be Deluded’ – Jamie O’Hara staggered by name mentioned for West Ham job
West Ham United: Jamie O’Hara reacts to Thomas Tuchel talk as David Moyes uncertainty continues
Jamie O’Hara hit out at a “deluded” West Ham fan for tipping Thomas Tuchel to replace David Moyes as manager. Moyes’ future remains up in the air as the end of the season approaches, at which point his contract will have expired.
A number of names have already been put forward as possible successors, including that of current Bayern Munich boss Tuchel.o However, when a caller mentioned he would like to see Tuchel in charge at London Stadium, O’Hara could not believe what he had heard.
Speaking on talkSPORT [30 March, 6:43pm], O’Hara said: “What? Tuchel? He’s managing Bayern Munich, pal.
“You’re a little bit deluded if you think you can get Tuchel to become West Ham manager. He’s won the Champions League with Chelsea.”
David Moyes contract latest at West Ham
Moyes has been offered a new deal by West Ham, but the longer he deliberates over whether to sign it, the more uncertainty it creates.
The problem the Hammers are in is that every negative result is now met with the same, inevitable reaction from the fanbase.
If Moyes is to depart, United cannot afford to get their next appointment wrong. Supporters do not want a steady option to come on board Thomas Tuchel has been mentioned as a possible successor to David Moyes at West Ham United
Tuchel is departing Bayern in the summer and it is not that far-fetched to suggest he may be interested in the Irons’ job.
This is a side, after all, that is challenging in the top half of the Premier League and now playing regular European football.
While Moyes is in the job, though, or at least until he officially makes a decision on the contract he has been awarded, it is a pointless conversation.
