David Moyes returns to Everton as manager

Liverpool: Everton have announced the appointment of David Moyes as the head coach on a two-and-a-half year contract after sacking Sean Dyche earlier in the week.

The club currently sits in 16th place, one point above the relegation zone, after having won only three of their opening 19 Premier League games.

Moyes is no stranger to Goodison Park having led Everton for more than 500 matches from 2002 to 2013. In March 2002, Moyes succeeded Walter Smith at Goodison Park and over the next 11 years, he transformed Everton into consistent top-half finishers. The 2004/05 campaign saw them finish fourth, securing Champions League qualification.

Moyes’ 518-game spell at Everton remains one of the longest managerial reigns in modern football.

In 2013, the Scotsman was handpicked by Sir Alex Ferguson as his successor at Manchester United. However, he lasted just 10 months after struggling to put together results and performances at Old Trafford. IANS
