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.” Everton have only won three league games this season, and just one of the last 10 and Moyes, who walked into a relegation battle when he joined from Preston in 2002, faces another. We look forward to working with David to build the foundation of a new era for Everton.” In Moyes’ first spell at Everton, he secured eight top-eight finishes, with a highest of fourth in 2005, reached the 2009 FA Cup final and took the club into Europe four times. He was their longest-serving manager since Harry Catterick and won the League Managers Association’s Manager of the Year award three times before replacing Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford in 2013. Two of Moyes’ former players, Under-18 manager Leighton Baines and club captain Seamus Coleman, were in caretaker charge for Thursday’s 2-0 win over Peterborough after Dyche was sacked three hours before kick-off.
