David Moyes is overjoyed at his chance to galvanise Everton once again as he set about his task of leading the club into a new era.
Everton announced Moyes as their new manager at 9am on Saturday, confirming the news that had been expected since Sean Dyche was jettisoned on Thursday. The Scot has signed a deal until June 2027 and his first game will be against Aston Villa on Wednesday.
This is an emotional move for Moyes, who initially led Everton between March 2002 and May 2013. During that period, the club reached their only major Cup final in the last 30 years and qualified for Europe on four occasions.
