Everton hopeful of swift David Moyes appointment after productive talks

Former manager to return with two-and-a-half year deal
Owners hope Moyes can steer team away from relegation

Everton are hopeful of appointing David Moyes as Sean Dyche’s replacement after a day of productive talks with the club’s former manager.

Moyes met representatives from The Friedkin Group (TFG), Everton’s new owner, on Friday to discuss a return to the club he managed between 2002 and 2013. Negotiations are understood to have advanced well and there is confidence a deal could be concluded within the next 24 hours. The length of contract is being discussed but the expectation is that is that it will be a two-and-a-half year deal.
