David Moyes will not be sacked as West Ham United boss as things stand, football.london understands.
The Hammers were beaten 2-0 by London rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday to end a three-match Premier League unbeaten run. The defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium left the club inside the relegation zone but only one point off safety.
With speculation mounting that the east London outfit could part ways with the Scot, football.london is of the understanding that no change in the dugout will be made and that Moyes' job is currently safe.

At the start of January, Moyes said the club were behind him and were showing him the support needed to turn things around, while admitting losses lead to jobs being under pressure.
“[The board] have shown a bit of experience as well in not panicking. They want the club to win and the manager to do well, so they are giving me great support to let that happen," said Moyes.
“Sometimes, if I was going to blow my own trumpet then I would probably say: ‘Well, look, there has been three years that have been pretty good’.
“But I also understand, because I am in the job, that often if you lose four or five games you’re right under pressure.
“I am really fortunate that [the board] have recognised the good work which has gone on in the last three years, which is probably the reason I am getting such good support.”
Relegation rivals Everton, Leeds United and Southampton have all made recent changes at the managerial position and have seen somewhat of a new-manager bounce.
Everton won their first game under Sean Dyche, beating league leaders Arsenal 1-0. Leeds drew 2-2 with high-flying Manchester United while Southampton picked up a shock win at Chelsea on Saturday.
The Toffees lost their next game to Liverpool but in a relegation six-pointer against the Leeds on Saturday, came out on top to escape the drop zone by a point.
