Everton have announced their new manager.
To nobody’s great surprise, David Moyes getting the job.
After Sean Dyche got the sack, it was widely anticipated that Moyes would return to Goodison Park.
Everton are currently only one point above the relegation zone and have only won one of their last eleven Premier League matches over the course of three months.
The changes (so far!) during this season have seen Ruben Amorim, Graham Potter, Ivan Juric, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Vitor Pereira come into clubs, with David Moyes now making it six.
Everton official announcement – 11 January 2025:
‘Everton Football Club is delighted to welcome back David Moyes as their new Manager, effective immediately.
David is widely recognised as one of the Premier League’s most experienced and accomplished managers, having led Everton for more than 500 matches from 2002 to 2013.
As a driving force behind taking Everton to the 2009 FA Cup Final and four European campaigns, he has also managed Manchester United and West Ham United, where he notably won the UEFA Europa Conference League.
Executive Chairman Marc Watts said: “We are pleased that David is joining us at this pivotal time in Everton’s history. With over a decade of experience at the club, he is the right leader to propel us through our final season at Goodison Park and into our new stadium. We look forward to working with David to build the foundation of a new era for Everton.”
David Moyes said: “It’s great to be back! I enjoyed 11 wonderful and successful years at Everton and didn’t hesitate when I was offered the opportunity to rejoin this great club.
“I’m excited to be working with The Friedkin Group and I am looking forward to helping them rebuild the club.
“Now we need Goodison and all Evertonians to play their part in getting behind the players in this important season so we can move into our fabulous new stadium as a Premier League team.”
Further announcements on David’s staff will follow in due course.’
