Moyes Returns To Everton As Manager

Everton have signed David Moyes for a second spell as their manager, the Premier League club said on Saturday.

Moyes, who previously managed Everton from 2002 to 2013, returns to the club after Sean Dyche was sacked on Thursday.

Its great to be back! I enjoyed 11 wonderful and successful years at Everton and didnt hesitate when I was offered the opportunity to rejoin, Moyes said in a statement.

Everton, struggling in 16th place in the Premier League, are winless in the last five league games and sit just a point above the relegation zone as they look to continue their 71-year run in the English topflight.

The club, who were taken over by the Friedkin Group last month, are also set to move to a new stadium later this year.
