Moyes Set for Everton Return after Dyche’s Sack

David Moyes is in talks with Everton over a potential return to Goodison Park after the sacking of manager Sean Dyche.

While a deal is not yet done, and Moyes is not the only candidate, BBC Sport has been told by a well-placed source that the Scot is the frontrunner.

Talks are said to be progressing, but the Toffees could be running out of time to get something done and announced by Friday evening.

It is still unclear how long Moyes’ contract would be for.

Ex-Burnley boss Dyche was dismissed on Thursday with the club 16th in the Premier League, just one point clear of the relegation zone.

Everton have sacked manager Sean Dyche after less than two years in charge at Goodison Park.

They have won just three of 19 games in the league this season.

Moyes managed Everton from 2002 to 2013 before leaving to take charge of Manchester United, but was sacked after 10 months.

He had two spells at West Ham and guided them to the Europa Conference League title in 2023, but has been out of work since leaving them last season.

Moyes recently said he was not ready to retire from football management but did not want to be in a job “fighting relegation”.
