Former Everton players have reacted to Moyes’ Goodison Park reunion as the 61-year-old will now take on another generation of talent.
It’s all happening at Everton at the moment with Moyes returning to the club after 11 and 1/2 years.
Moyes has said he’s excited to rebuild Everton under the new ownership as he looks to guide Everton away from safety in the Premier League.
After his first spell at Goodison, Moyes developed some memorable talents that Everton fans loved.
Kevin Mirallas and Steven Pienaar were two fan favourites during his first spell and they’ve reacted to Moyes’ return along with other former Everton stars.

Messages have been flooding in on Everton’s Instagram with reactions to the return of Moyes.
Some players enjoyed part of their football career at Everton and some made their mark on Merseyside, as different characters have been wishing Moyes the best of luck.
Former Everton midfielder Pienaar said: “Welcome back boss, Let’s get behind the team.”
Fan-favourite Mirallas also added to the Moyes’ return post with some clapping hands. The Belgian made 186 appearances for the Toffees.
Yakubu also had the same response as Mirallas.
Former Everton defender, Alan Stubbs, was there for Moyes’ start at Everton saying: “Congratulations Gaffer, delighted for you!!”
On another post, Victor Anichebe, who made 168 appearances for the Toffees, left a heartfelt message for Moyes. The Nigerian striker broke through into the first team from the Everton academy after Moyes handed him his opportunity, becoming a mainstay in his squad.
“Stability and values of what it means to play for Everton is what the club needs now. Welcome back gaffer. Club has changed massively so it won’t be easy support is needed. Good luck gaffer.”

However, the Toffees do have some promising young prospects now breaking through into the first team.
Harrison Armstrong impressed for Everton against Peterborough on Thursday night, grabbing an assist.
In the past, Armstrong has performed brilliantly for the Everton U18s, as he works under manager Leighton Baines in the academy.
Alongside Armstrong, Roman Dixon is also showing promise at Everton, as Moyes could have a plan in place for the youngsters’ development.
After Moyes’ production of players like Anichebe, it could be an exciting prospect for Evertonians.
