After a disastrous start to the season, it seems as though Everton could soon be making a change in the dugout. It’s believed that former manager, David Moyes could soon be the man to replace Sean Dyche having left West Ham earlier in the summer.
Moyes will go down as one of the best to manage the Toffees having spent 11 years in the dugout at Goodison Park. The Scottish boss left in 2013 to go and manage Manchester United but lasted just 51 games before being sacked, but could soon make an emotional return to Merseyside.
David Moyes tipped to replace Sean Dyche at Everton
The Scotland manager oversaw 516 games in charge of the Toffees, the fourth most in the club’s history. It would be a logical appointment from Farhad Moshiri to bring in a trustworthy pair of hands and someone who knows the club, as they attempt to fight off the threat of relegation once again.
Everton have finished in the top half of the Premier League just once out of the last five seasons and constantly been tipped to go down. The Toffees have never been relegated out of the Premier League, but with zero points on the board so far and shipped 11 goals, Dyche’s days could soon be numbered.
According to Football Insider, Everton are contemplating the idea of replacing Dyche, who was appointed in January 2023, with former boss Moyes. The Scottish coach has been out of work for a few months now after West Ham decided to part ways with their Europa Conference League-winning manager.
Moyes to jump straight back into management?
Moshiri and the whole Everton fanbase will have never wanted to be relegated, but this season they must do everything to avoid the drop. This is because it’s their final ever campaign at Goodison Park, and means they could be in the Championship while playing in their brand new Bramley Moor Dock-based stadium.
Dyche boasts the third-lowest win percentage of managers since Moyes left the club and following a late collapse at home to Bournemouth, the pressure has cracked up a notch. If Moshiri was to make a change, then doing so in the international break would be an ideal opportunity.
Going back to something which was once great and almost perfect is not always recommended, but Everton could do far worse than hiring Moyes. The former West Ham boss took the Hammers from the brink of relegation to European trophy winners in a matter of seasons, so he has all the credentials for such a challenging job.
