David Moyes Returns as Everton Manager
David Moyes is officially reappointed as Everton's manager, signing a two-and-a-half-year deal to lead the club under new ownership by The Friedkin Group.
Everton Football Club has confirmed the return of David Moyes as manager, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the club. Moyes, who previously managed Everton for over a decade, from 2002 to 2013, has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract as the club enters a pivotal phase under the new ownership of The Friedkin Group.
During his first spell at Everton, Moyes transformed the team into consistent Premier League competitors, achieving notable successes such as a fourth-place finish in the 2004–2005 season and guiding the team to the 2009 FA Cup final. His return has been welcomed by fans who fondly remember his contributions to the club's stability and progress during those years.
Moyes expressed his enthusiasm in a statement: "Returning to Everton is an incredible honor. My years here were some of the most memorable of my career, and I am eager to help the club move forward under the new ownership. The challenges ahead excite me, and I am confident we can achieve great things together."
Everton's new owners, The Friedkin Group, have moved swiftly to make this appointment following the dismissal of Sean Dyche. Speaking about Moyes's return, Executive Chairman Marc Watts stated, "David Moyes's familiarity with Everton, coupled with his extensive managerial experience, makes him the perfect leader for this transitional phase. We are excited to have him guide us into our final season at Goodison Park and into the new stadium."
Currently sitting 16th in the Premier League table, just one point above the relegation zone, Everton faces immediate challenges. Moyes will aim to stabilize the team's performances, with upcoming fixtures against Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur providing an early test of his leadership in this second tenure.
Speculation surrounding Moyes's coaching staff suggests he may recruit trusted colleagues from his previous managerial roles, including Billy McKinlay and Alan Irvine. Additionally, there are reports that former Everton star Wayne Rooney could join the coaching setup, further strengthening the club's backroom staff.
As Everton prepares for this crucial phase, fans are optimistic that Moyes's return will bring stability, direction, and much-needed success. The club’s ambition is clear: to establish a strong foundation under The Friedkin Group's leadership and reemerge as a competitive force in English football.
