West Ham reappoint David Moyes as manager

West Ham United manager David Moyes

London [UK], Dec 30 (ANI): English football club West Ham United reappointed David Moyes as manager after Manuel Pellegrini was shown the exit door at the London Stadium following another poor result this weekend.
Moyes has signed an 18-month deal and begins work immediately ahead of the New Year's Day fixture with AFC Bournemouth at London Stadium.
Joint-Chairman David Sullivan said in a statement: "David proved in his short time with the Club that he was capable of getting results and we believe that he will start moving the Club in the right direction once again."
"We are delighted to welcome David back - he knows the Club well and he built strong relationships during that time which will be crucial for the work that needs to be done going forward," he added.
Moyes on his reappointment said that he feels 'great' to be back at home.
"It's fabulous to be back. It feels great to be home. I've missed being here because I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed being around the stadium and I loved being in this part of the world and I missed the Club, so I can't wait to get started," Moyes said.
"I'm feeling very proud that I'm back here at West Ham. But I think more importantly I'll be looking to see what I can do and what I can make improvements to, how we can get some wins with the players and how we can get some quick wins on the field as well," he added.
"I think there's got to be a short-term goal for us just now to get the wins to get us away from the wrong end of the league and what we're going to do over the next six months, then what we're going to do over the next period as well. The start is really focusing on the immediate games," Moyes said.
The Scot rejoins the club he guided to a strong finish during an initial seven-month spell in charge during the 2017/18 season.
Moyes has managed in the Premier League for 15 seasons, including a successful spell at Everton which earned him a move to Manchester United. (ANI)

India withdraw Smith protest as boards make peace in DRS row

India have withdrawn an official protest about the actions of Australia captain Steve Smith in the second test as the governing bodies of both countries moved to bring an end to the acrimony surrounding the ongoing four-match series. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had earlier registered a complaint to the International Cricket Council (ICC) over Smith looking to the dressing room for guidance on whether to review an lbw decision during the Bengaluru match. Despite the hosts winning the test to level the series at 1-1 on Tuesday, India skipper Virat Kohli alleged the tourists had indulged in the practice throughout the match, sparking a war of words in the media and a robust response from Australia. The boards released a joint statement on Friday saying the chief executives of both bodies had met in Mumbai on Thursday and agreed to try and bring the focus "back to the game" ahead of next week's third test in Ranchi. "India has always cherished a c...
