West Ham defender Coufal 'so grateful' to Moyes

West Ham defender Vladimir Coufal has paid tribute to manager David Moyes.

Moyes will leave after today's season finale at Manchester City.

Coufal said: I'm so grateful to him because he brought me in and gave me an opportunity to play in the Premier League.

I was an unknown player at the start and nobody trusted me, but he did.

It was a big change for me, and I had a lot of meetings with him and his coaching staff and managed to improve massively from a defensive perspective.

I've always given him my best because I never want to disappoint him, and although it's sad he's not going to be here next year I am happy that together we have made so many amazing memories."
