(Reuters) - West Ham United's Europa Conference League final against Fiorentina is the pinnacle of David Moyes's career, the manager said on Tuesday as he called on his players to end the Premier League club's 43-year wait for silverware.
West Ham have not reached a European final since the 1976 European Cup Winners' Cup. Wednesday's final against Fiorentina in Prague will give the London side a chance to win their first major trophy since the FA Cup in 1980."This is the biggest moment of my career. To be a football coach for as long as I have been must mean I'm doing something right.
"It's a big achievement to get through to a European final. It's not easy to get all the way through and we've been competitive. It's a great achievement for all the players and the next part is to see if we can go on and win it." Asked how his West Ham side had struck a balance between rest and work during the last week, Moyes said:"We went to Portugal for two or three days, trained and enjoyed it.
