West Ham manager David Moyes says his side’s crucial victory against Everton was “a relief” for the club, but does not believe the board want to get rid of him.
The match cruelly dubbed ‘El Sackico’ was settled by a first-half double from Jarrod Bowen.
It was West Ham’s first Premier League win in three months and piled the pressure on Everton boss Frank Lampard.
Like Lampard, it had been suggested Moyes would lose his job if West Ham lost.
“My understanding was the board will still support me no matter what, that takes a lot of doing and a big thank you to them,” Moyes told BBC Radio 5 Live.
Speaking in his news conference after the game, Moyes added: “I still believe it is something the board didn’t want to do, to make changes.
“I have a board behind me who are supportive and who have backed me.
“I really hope Everton stick with Frank. He is a top bloke from the times I’ve been with him, but I have to think about my position because me winning one game doesn’t mean everything is fine.”
