David Moyes has been linked with a sensational return to the Everton dugout following Sean Dyche’s departure from the club.
According to The Sun, Everton’s prospective new owners are targeting David Moyes as a short-term fix if Sean Dyche is sacked. The former Burnley manager is under increasing pressure at Goodison Park as the 61-year-old former Manchester United manager is in the frame to replace him in the dugout.
Everton has had multiple problems on and off the field over the last few years. The main focus lies on the ownership situation, as the Friedkin Group is eager to take over from the club once majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri sorts out his problems with previous ownership and lenders.
Things are looking positive on that front, and with the new stadium also inching closer to opening, the new ownership would want their Premier League status preserved heading into next season. After the 12th matchday in the top flight, the Toffees languish in 15th but only have a two-point advantage over their closest relegation side.
Hence, there are no guarantees that Sean Dyche will steer them to safety when the season finishes, as the Toffees still have many problems with their squad quality. Hence, the prospective new owners are already thinking about a regime change at Goodison Park, with many notable names linked to becoming their new manager, including former Porto boss Sergio Conceicao.
The Friedkin group is certainly looking at a big name for the long term, such as Jose Mourinho. For now, they might consider a short-term alternative, like 61-year-old former Manchester United manager David Moyes, who has been out of a job since leaving West Ham in May.
David Moyes to make Everton return?
Moyes was at the helm at Everton for over a decade and brought considerable success to the side. The 61-year-old former Manchester United manager is reportedly open to a return to his former side, and the new owners are eager to explore the idea in the coming period when they decide to sack Dyche.
Moyes also has the interest of Leicester City, who sacked Steve Cooper on Sunday, meaning the Foxes could ramp up the chase for the 61-year-old. Hence, Everton could come under a bit of pressure with their idea of Moyes replacing Dyche, although this appointment is only seen as a short-term solution to help steer clear of relegation this season.
