David Moyes says that after not finding the formula for success in three consecutive clubs, he has to prove his worth again.
In 2013, after many years, he left Liverpool's Everton and took the helm at Manchester United, but was dismissed in the same season. Later, he also failed to hold onto the coaching positions at Real Sociedad in San Sebastian and Sunderland.
Now the 54-year-old specialist has taken on the challenge at West Ham in London to replace Slaven Bilic, whose "Hammers" have already fallen into the relegation zone.
"I was in Qatar, where I worked a bit on television, and then they asked me if I was interested in their offer. I quickly responded "yes", - Moyes said at the press conference. "A couple of quick meetings and now I'm here."
"It's good for me. I returned, this is what I love to do and what I do. I want to perform well and for the team to perform well. I think it's also good for West Ham - I think I'm a good coach."
"It was easy to make this decision. West Ham is a top-level club with a great stadium, and we will add to it," - the strategist added, talking about the Hammers' move to the London Olympic arena.
"I hope West Ham's future will be great. My ambitions are only short-term, because I have to win matches. I want to win matches and get out of the wrong side of the table - the team is capable of that."
"I have to prove my worth. Sometimes you need to fix things, and maybe now I have to fix a few of them."
There are seven points separating the East London team from the 10th-placed Huddersfield Town at the moment.
