David Moyes has agreed a deal to return to Everton as manager following the departure of Sean Dyche.
Dyche was sacked on Thursday – just three hours before the Toffees’ FA Cup third-round win over Peterborough – after winning just one of his last 11 games with Everton, leaving them just one point above the Premier League relegation zone.
Moyes, 61, is now set to make his return to management after leaving West Ham at the end of the last season, as he takes charge of Everton for a second time, 11-and-a-half years after leaving for Manchester United.
Analysis: Moyes the safest choice for Everton
Sky Sports News’ Alan Myers:
“David Moyes is the safest choice. Changing managers in this position is high risk. To have someone who knows the club inside out and can hit the ground running is a big plus.

Speaking in December, Moyes told Sky Sports News he would not consider a job at a club towards the bottom of the Premier League
“Everton need the club to get safe, I think he can do that. The initial aim and objective is to ensure Everton retain their Premier League status ahead of their move to the new stadium.
“The landscape has changed since Moyes was last at Everton. He’ll be working under what may be perceived from the outside as ruthless owners now. It’s not quite the stability he had when Bill Kenwright was the chairman.”
