West Ham and Crystal Palace battling for Paulo Fonseca

Fonseca seems like a great choice for either Palace or West Ham. He is currently helping Lille battle for a European sp♊ot. Last season they finished tenth so it shows that he can help a club progress.

West Ham h🌼ave been in Europe the last two seasons. It seems like Moyes has taken them as far as he can. They now see themselves in a relegation battle instead of battling for a European spot.

The Hammers could still win the Europa Conference League, and this gꦍreat achievement could keep Moyes in charge.

If this is the case, this could gi🌺ve Crystal🍃 Palace a clear route to try and appoint Fonseca. It may still be hard though. This is due to the fact that he may want to stay and see how far he can take Lille in Europe.

There is no rush from anyone to get this appointment done. It will most likely be a dec⛎ision made at the end of the current season.
