West Ham Announce First-team Coach Stuart Pearce Has Stepped Down

A club statement read: “West Ham United can confirm that Stuart Pearce has decided to step down from his role as first-team coach.

“The 60-year-old leaves the club after two years on David Moyes' coaching staff, during which time he has played a key role alongside Billy McKinlay, Kevin Nolan, Paul Nevin and Xavi Valero as the Hammers enjoyed sixth and seventh place finishes in the Premier League and secured European qualification in both seasons."

“It has been a pleasure and a privilege to work at the club over the past two years, but I have decided that now is the right time to step away and pursue other opportunities and challenges.

“I'd like to take this opportunity to thank David Moyes, David Sullivan, David Gold and Karren Brady for allowing me to return to West Ham.

“I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here – the football club is united at all levels and that is very pleasing to see."

Pearce first allied with Moyes as an assistant in November 2017 and rejoined the Hammers' coaching staff before the 2020-21 season.

Moyes added: “We thank Stuart for his hard work and dedication over the past two years.

“He has been a great help to myself and the team, and a popular figure who we will miss around the training ground. On behalf of all of the players and staff, I wish him every success in the future."
