West Ham United stopper Angelo Ogbonna has great admiration for the club's departing manager.

The Hammers are set to part ways with David Moyes at the end of the season when his contract expires.

The Scot has not always gotten along with the club's supporters, but Ogbonna has a different view.

It's a totally different club," the defender told The Standard.

I think he leaves the club in a strong position, a really strong position compared to when I came in.

Even behind the scenes, everything, every department has grown. After we won the [Conference League], I think West Ham became known around the world."

I think not just my reaction, but anyone who really loves football and who understands football, would be a little bit sad after this news," he added on getting the news.

For what he brought to the club, how the club has changed since he was involved. In the end, we're human beings, we're not robots. I think most of us are really sad for the person."
