Mark Warburton explains decision to replace Stuart Pearce as West Ham coach under David Moyes

Mark Warburton says moving to the Premier League to become a member of David Moyes ’ backroom staff at West Ham was a challenge he felt he was more than ready to take on.

The 59-year-old arrives at Rush Green with a huge wealth of experience within the game, having previously worked as an academy manager, first-team coach, sporting director and, since 2013, as a manager, taking charge of nearly 350 matches and winning two promotions, one cup competition and a string of individual accolades along the way.

Warburton’s first stint as a boss was in the hot seat at Brentford whom he guided into the Championship after gaining promotion from League One in 2014 and immediately took them into the play-offs before leaving at the end of his contract following a semi-final defeat to Nottingham Forest.
