West Ham technical director Tim Steidten has been told to steer clear of manager David Moyes.
A rift appears to have developed between Steidten and Moyes, given the Hammers' plans for the future.
West Ham appear eager to move on from Moyes in the summer as his contract runs out.
Per The Standard, Steidten has been playing a leading role in finding a replacement.
The club believe he should not be in direct interaction with Moyes or his players.
Steidten helped the club sign the likes of Mohammed Kudus, Edson Alvarez and James Ward-Prowse.
