Slaven Bilic is set to be sacked as West Ham manager on Sunday and will be replaced by David Moyes on a deal until the end of the season.
Moyes will be named interim manager, and will bring his coaching staff with him to the London Stadium, but that is unlikely to include former Valencia assistant manager Phil Neville.
The decision comes after the 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Liverpool on Saturday and a period of terrible form for the Hammers.

He will be replaced on an interim basis by former Everton and Sunderland boss David Moyes
Bilic has overseen a run of four Premier League games without a win, and his side have only earned two victories in the league all season.
They are 17th in the table and could end the weekend in the relegation zone depending on Everton’s result against Watford.
Moyes left his post as Sunderland manager in the summer after overseeing the team’s relegation to the Championship.

He has had a nomadic career since leaving Everton in the summer of 2013, including less than a season in charge of Manchester United and a spell at Real Sociedad.
The Scot hinted he could be back in a dugout soon on Saturday. Asked whether he’d be keen on a return to Everton, he told beIN Sports: ‘Of course it would have to be yes, but I’ve got other things ongoing and it might not be too long before I’m back in work.
‘If the job came up I would be interested, but I’ve got other interests as well.’
Bilic was defiant after the defeat on Saturday. He said: ‘I’m always facing the situation, facing the consequences. I’m strong and was always strong and I’m not hiding behind anything.’

Asked when he would talk to Sullivan and Gold, he answered: ‘When they call me.’
He added: ‘Of course I believe in myself, my staff, my team and my character. I’m a big fighter. And I definitely don’t feel a broken man. I’m very, very strong.
‘On the other hand the situation for West Ham is not very good, but the club is about every individual and that includes me.
‘I’m the one taking the bullets. What I don’t question is whether I’m a strong character or not, but, are we playing well? No, we’re not.’
The Croatian took over as West Ham manager in 2015. His side finished in seventh in his first season but slumped to mid-table last campaign.
