David Moyes was appointed an OBE in the New Year Honours for services to football<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

\n

David Moyes said it is “great to be back” after being appointed Everton manager for a second time.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 61-year-old Scot has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract at Goodison Park following the sacking of Sean Dyche on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Everton are 16th in the Premier League – one point clear of the relegation zone – with only three wins from 19 games this season.<\/p>\n

“I enjoyed 11 wonderful and successful years at Everton and didn’t hesitate when I was offered the opportunity to rejoin this great club,” said Moyes.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Moyes managed Everton from 2002 until 2013 before spells in charge of Manchester United, Real Sociedad, Sunderland and West Ham twice.<\/p>\n

He has been out of work since leaving West Ham, where he won the Europa Conference League in 2023, at the end of last season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

From relegation fight to Champions League – the first Everton spell<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

Moyes spent 11 years at Everton before leaving to take charge of United as Sir Alex Ferguson’s successor in the summer of 2013.<\/p>\n

Following a four-year spell at Preston, he joined Everton in March 2002, with the Toffees in danger of relegation.<\/p>\n

Moyes won his first match and went on to take charge of more than 500 games.<\/p>\n

Everton reached the FA Cup final in 2009 and finished in the top eight of the Premier League nine times, including fourth in 2004-05, which took them into Champions League qualifying.<\/p>\n

Moyes gave Wayne Rooney his professional debut and signed several players who would become Everton greats, including Tim Cahill and Marouane Fellaini.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ups and downs since leaving Everton<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

Moyes was handpicked by Sir Alex as his successor at Old Trafford but failed to see out the 2013-14 season.<\/p>\n

He was sacked in April 2014 after 10 months in charge, with United seventh in the table and unable to qualify for the Champions League.<\/p>\n

Moyes had a year in La Liga with Sociedad before returning to English football with Sunderland, who were relegated from the Premier League in 2016-17.<\/p>\n

Moyes helped West Ham avoid relegation in 2017-18 during a six-month spell in charge.<\/p>\n

He was close to signing a deal to succeed Marco Silva at Everton in December 2019, but owner Farhad Moshiri appointed Carlo Ancelotti.<\/p>\n

Moyes returned to West Ham that month following the sacking of Manuel Pellegrini, and remained in charge until the end of the 2023-24 season.<\/p>\n

In that time he led them to two top-seven finishes and won the Europa Conference League, their first major trophy for 43 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How much work does Moyes have to do?<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

Everton’s numbers in the league this season make for grim reading:<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  • \n

    Only in three seasons in their history have they scored fewer goals after 19 games.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    They have the division’s lowest expected goals (xG) at 18.33.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Their tally of 63 shots on target is the second lowest behind Southampton’s 58.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Everton’s average of 0.79 goals per game is their lowest in 13 seasons. It was 1.05 last season and 0.89 in 2022-23.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    ‘Safe pair of hands’ gives fans what they wanted<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
    \n

    Shamoon Hafez, BBC Sport football news reporter<\/i><\/p>\n

    With Everton teetering above the drop zone, Moyes’ key task will be to ensure the club move into their new stadium on Bramley-Moore Dock next season playing Premier League football.<\/p>\n

    The side have been sound defensively but stagnated under Dyche’s one-dimensional style of play, with the team creating few chances and the goals drying up.<\/p>\n

    Strikers Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Beto have struggled to score through a lack of service, but will now have a fresh start under a new boss with different ideas to help fire the club back up the table.<\/p>\n

    Supporters had grown tired of watching the team and, despite a general consensus that dismissing Dyche was the correct decision, there was a subdued atmosphere in the FA Cup third-round tie against Peterborough on Thursday evening.<\/p>\n

    The Blues faithful have been starved of success, but a significant issue at the club in recent years has been a lack of stability.<\/p>\n

    The Toffees have had to install yet another man in the dugout, and caretaker boss Leighton Baines said there has to be “hope and optimism” amid the managerial change.<\/p>\n

    Moyes is a safe pair of hands as he returns to familiar surroundings, with the hierarchy bringing back someone who many fans wanted. Their job now is to stand by the new manager.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
