Sport nationExclusive: David Moyes Open to Everton Return Amid Sean Dyche Pressure
Everton icon David Moyes is willing to return to the Goodison Park hot-seat should the opportunity arise, sources have revealed to GiveMeSport. The Toffees’ winless start to the season has intensified pressure on current boss Sean Dyche.
Moyes’ Previous Success
Moyes led Everton to four top-six finishes in the Premier League during his 2002-2013 tenure. His experience and familiarity with the club make him an attractive option.
Interest in Moyes
GiveMeSport sources confirm Moyes has been discussed as a potential replacement for Dyche. The Scottish tactician is open to reconsidering his managerial future, regardless of whether Dan Friedkin completes the takeover.
Comparison with Dyche
Moyes’ Premier League record at Everton:
- 427 matches
- 173 wins
- 123 draws
- 131 losses
- 568 goals scored
- 503 goals conceded
- 1.50 points-per-game
Dyche’s Premier League record:
- 60 matches
- 18 wins
- 16 draws
- 26 losses
- 64 goals scored
- 92 goals conceded
- 1.17 points-per-game
Succession Planning
Graham Potter and Gareth Southgate have also been considered as potential options. However, this is part of normal succession planning rather than an indication Dyche will be replaced.
Key Period for Dyche
Dyche’s future will be assessed in the coming weeks, with Friedkin set to evaluate his options. The upcoming fixtures, without any big-six teams until December, provide an opportunity for Dyche to turn the season around.
Friedkin’s Takeover
The Friedkin Group has reached an agreement in principle to acquire Farhad Moshiri’s shares. Friedkin has spoken highly of Southgate as an ambitious target, but no decisions have been made.
Conclusion
David Moyes’ potential return to Everton adds another layer to the managerial situation. As the Toffees navigate a critical period, Dyche’s future hangs in the balance. Will Moyes make a romantic return, or will Friedkin opt for a different direction?
