New West Ham manager David Moyes says winning is “what he does”, and added that the club’s owners had showed “a lot of class” in bringing him back for a second spell in charge. Moyes, who replaces the sacked Manuel Pellegrini, left the Hammers at the end of the 2017-18 season. He recorded nine wins and 10 draws from 31 games in his first spell, leading the club to Premier League safety. “They are getting a very experienced Premier League manager,” said Moyes. “I think there’s only two or three managers with a better Premier League win record.
