Everton considers David Moyes Everton return, seeking their most successful Post-Kendall manager after Dyche’s sacking

David Moyes is in discussions for a sensational return to Everton after the club sacked manager Sean Dyche. Moyes, widely regarded as the club’s most successful boss since Howard Kendall, is tipped to take the reins and could be appointed before Everton’s next Premier League clash against Aston Villa on Wednesday.

Sean Dyche’s dismissal was confirmed on Thursday, ending his tenure just hours after a poor run of results left Everton perilously close to the relegation zone. The decision comes as the Toffees face mounting pressure to salvage their season and secure their Premier League status.

Moyes, who managed Everton between 2002 and 2013, achieved notable success during his first stint at Goodison Park, transforming the club into a regular top-six contender. His reputation among fans remains strong, despite leaving to manage Manchester United in 2013. Since then, Moyes has rebuilt his managerial career, most recently achieving Europa Conference League success with West Ham United.

Sources suggest that Everton’s board views Moyes as a steadying influence capable of reinvigorating a struggling squad. His intimate knowledge of the club and proven ability to thrive with limited resources make him a prime candidate for the role.

Everton are currently 18th in the Premier League, having won just three of their 20 games this season. Dyche was brought in less than a year ago to guide the club to safety but has failed to deliver consistent results. Frustration among fans and board members reached a tipping point after Everton’s recent loss to Bournemouth, prompting Dyche’s abrupt departure.

If appointed, Moyes will inherit a squad low on confidence and plagued by injuries. Key players such as Dominic Calvert-Lewin have struggled to maintain fitness, while defensive frailties have left the team vulnerable. With the January transfer window in full swing, Moyes could also have the opportunity to make crucial additions to strengthen the squad.

Supporters have expressed mixed reactions to Moyes’ potential return. While many applaud his track record and commitment during his previous stint, others are sceptical about revisiting the past. The Everton hierarchy, however, appears determined to bring in a manager with Premier League experience and a deep understanding of the club’s values.

Moyes’ immediate task, should he accept the role, will be to stabilise the team and secure vital points in a congested relegation battle. Everton’s next match against Aston Villa looms large, and fans will hope a managerial shake-up can provide the spark needed to turn their season around.

As Everton edges closer to making a final decision, the club’s supporters and the football world await confirmation of whether Moyes will return to Goodison Park for a second chapter in his storied managerial career.
