David Moyes has returned as Everton manager after 12 years, with the club announcing the Scot will succeed Sean Dyche.

David Moyes is back. Twelve years after he headed east for a brief, ill-starred spell at Manchester United, the veteran manager is nearing a return to Everton, the place he made his name, charged with the responsibility of ensuring the magnificent new Bramley-Moore Dock is not to be the finest stadium in the Championship next season.

Everton has hired David Moyes for a second stint as manager at the Premier League club. The move was announced Saturday two days after the club under its new American owners fired manager Sean Dyche.
