    David Moyes is one of the longest serving British managers in the Premier League. After a bumpy ride at Manchester United, he won a trophy with West Ham and is now back with Everton.

    David Moyes is a Scottish football manager and former player, who has managed West Ham, Manchester United and Everton among others.

    Moyes was a Scotland national team captain at Under-18 level, but had a largely unspectacular playing career. He played for Celtic, Cambridge United, Bristol City, Shrewsbury Town, Dunfermline Athletic and Hamilton Academical before his longest stint as a player at Preston North End.

    Moyes went on to manage Preston from 1998 until 2002, when he left to take charge of Everton. He presided over the Toffees from 2002 to 2013, in a largely successful spell on Merseyside.

    At the end of the 2012/13 season, Moyes was appointed as Sir Alex Ferguson's successor at Manchester United. However, he was sacked nine months later before the end of a dismal 2013/14 campaign.

    Moyes had unsuccessful spells in charge of Real Sociedad and Sunderland before moving on to West Ham United, where he's enjoyed greater fortunes over the course of two separate stints.

    He saved West Ham from relegation twice, then steered the club into Europe in three consecutive seasons.

    But his crowning glory came at the end of the 2022/23 season when West Ham lifted the Europa Conference League trophy after a 2-1 win over Fiorentina in Prague.

    Moyes wrote his name in West Ham folklore, joining Ron Greenwood and John Lyall as trophy-winning Hammers managers.

    At the end of the 2023/24 season, following a ninthplace finish, Moyes left his role at West Ham by mutual consent.

    In January 2025, he returned to Everton for a second spell at the club.
