What success, you say? Everton are teetering on the relegation line and have struggled mightily since Carlo Ancelotti left Goodison Park to lead Real Madrid to the Champions League title. But that was a time before the chaos. David Moyes was behind continuity and solid positions in the Premier League.
For eleven years from 2002 to 2013, David Moyes was the undisputed boss at Goodison Park. The fact that his time in the Premier League came at the same time as the heyday of another Scot, Sir Alex Ferguson, effectively ensured that there were no trophies.
Everton consistently finished between fifth and eighth in the league under Moyes, and at the time of his departure, he was the longest-serving current manager in the league behind Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsène Wenger, with 11 years and 3 months.
He was the natural successor when Sir Alex Ferguson retired from Manchester United. (As you know, it didn’t go so well). On Saturday, David Moyes was clapped in as Everton manager and ready for his 519th game as manager of the club.
This bodes well!
