Everton’s fortunes are on the rise. Manager David Moyes has returned with a promising start.
In addition, the club’s spirit has soared as critics of his West Ham exit are proven wrong.
Moyes enjoyed a remarkable spell at West Ham. He guided the team to the Europa Conference League trophy in June 2023. Consequently, his triumph sparked widespread celebration and praise.
However, change was inevitable. Fans and the board sought a fresh direction after transforming relegation candidates into European champions. As a result, Moyes departed West Ham at the season’s end.
In contrast, West Ham made a risky move. They appointed Julen Lopetegui next. However, his tenure lasted less than eight months before Graham Potter took over.

The Hammers endured a difficult season despite heavy spending on promising signings. Meanwhile, Everton welcomed Moyes back with open arms. Thus, his return has rejuvenated the Toffees and steered them away from the relegation zone.
A stunning Merseyside derby further boosted Everton’s confidence. James Tarkowski scored an injury-time equaliser to secure the draw. Consequently, the club now boasts an unbeaten run in their last four Premier League matches.
New owners, The Friedkin Group, have bolstered optimism further. Reports suggest they will support Moyes with a significant summer build. Moreover, his two-year contract may extend if success continues.
The recent derby turned chaotic. Abdoulaye Doucoure, Curtis Jones, Arne Slot, and assistant Sipke Hulshoff were dismissed after the match. Doucoure celebrated the draw near Liverpool fans, which ignited a melee. In response, Moyes described the game as mayhem and an old-fashioned throwback. He also expressed disappointment over the yellow that escalated to a red, leaving the team short of players. Overall, the atmosphere at the stadium was electric and unforgettable.
