David Moyes is reportedly in talks with Everton to potentially return to the club in a managerial role after sacking of Sean Dyche just a day ago. In the latest development, the 61-year-old, who has managed Everton from 2002 to 2013, isn’t the only candidate for the job, but he is the frontrunner to take the place of Sean Dyche after the latter was dismissed as the manager with immediate effect just hours prior their FA Cup tie.
On a tumultuous Thursday, January 9, Everton headed to their FA Cup tie against Peterborough at the Goodison Park with U-18 head coach Leighton Baines and club captain Seamus Coleman taking interim charge of the team after Sean Dyche left. In a tough game, Peterborough didn’t let Everton dominate the proceedings at the Goodison Park, but the hosts ultimately won 2-0 with a second half added time goal from Iliman Ndiaye after Beto’s first half strike.
David Moyes and Everton are currently negotiating a contract
As per the report from the BBC, David Moyes and Everton are currently negotiating a contract to potentially rekindle their long-term partnership in English football. This comes after Everton are currently in a relegation scrap in the Premier League, managing to win just three games in the first half of the season, to find themselves in 16th place with just 17 points to their name, ahead of Wolves and Ipswich Town by a solitary point.
After managing Everton for 11 years, David Moyes was the replacement for Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, who had announced his retirement from the managerial role in 2013. But after just 11 months into the new job, he was sacked just before the end of the 2013-14 football season before managing West Ham on two separate occasions from 2017 to 2024.
“Football is in my blood. It has been since I was a boy. I love watching football and I have enjoyed my career. If there is another part to it, so be it. But I would only want it to be a good part. I wouldn't want to be coming in and doing something which is very difficult,” said David Moyes after being appointed an OBE for his services to football in the New Years Honours list recently.
