Playing in their first major European final in 47 years, West Ham refused to be denied. West Ham have embraced the Europa Conference League and, while they were second best for long spells, the anxiety growing as Fiorentina pushed for a winner after cancelling out Saïd Benrahma’s penalty with a lovely goal from Giacomo Bonaventura, in the end it was the resilience instilled by Moyes that helped his team clamber over the line. Moyes has been a game away from the sack on several occasions and West Ham have struggled in the league.
This has not been an easy campaign for the 60-year-old. West Ham, without a major trophy since winning the FA Cup in 1980, had a new legend: Moyes had followed in the footsteps of two of the greatest figures in the club’s history, Ron Greenwood and John Lyall, in bringing silverware to east London. Here was the Scot’s reward for recovering from the tough times and trusting that one day it would be him standing on a podium after leading a team to glory.
