Former England boss Sam Allardyce backs David Moyes to be a success at West Ham United after the Scot was named as the club's new head coach.

Former England boss Sam Allardyce has backed David Moyes to be a success at West Ham United.

Moyes signed a six-month contract with the Hammers on Tuesday morning as the Scot was confirmed as Slaven Bilic's managerial replacement at the London Stadium.

Having failed to impress in his last three spells at Manchester United, Real Sociedad and Sunderland, the West Ham fans have met the decision with frustration.

Allardyce, however, has claimed that Moyes has 'the drive and the desire' to make a positive impression at West Ham.

"I do think he will be a success because they have got a good squad," Allardyce told talkSPORT.

"He needs to pull that squad together and make it function in a way Slaven unfortunately couldn't do. David has got the drive, he has got the desire, to show everybody he can get back to what he was like in his Everton days.

"He has had a couple of disappointments, particularly at Sunderland last season, so I think he is hungry and I think he will sort these players out and get them functioning and winning football matches."

Moyes will oversee his first match as West Ham boss when the Hammers travel to Watford on November 19.
