David Moyes: Everton hire Scot as boss to replace Sean Dyche

David Moyes has returned as Everton manager after 12 years, with the club announcing the Scot will succeed Sean Dyche.

Moyes left Everton after an 11-year stay to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United in 2013, but after further spells at Real Sociedad, Sunderland and West Ham, he is back at Goodison Park.

"It's great to be back! I enjoyed 11 wonderful and successful years at Everton and didn't hesitate when I was offered the opportunity to rejoin," Moyes said in a statement.

"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.
