Everton are in danger of being dragged back into the relegation zone following an impressive run of recent results.

Defeat on the weekend against Southampton has seen Sean Dyche’s men remain around the relegation zone with a daunting December still to follow.

There is some cause for optimism on Merseyside with The Friedkin Group closing in on their Everton takeover which could even be completed by the end of the year.

But the proposed new ownership at Goodison Park could bring significant changes as they look to drag Everton out of their current struggles.

One of those changes could be made to the coaching staff with Dyche under pressure from the Everton fans already this season.

What David Moyes said about management amid Everton rumours

The Friedkin Group have David Moyes on their list to potentially replace Sean Dyche as the Everton manager when they arrive.

When asked whether he is chomping at the bit to return to management, Moyes told The Overlap that is not exactly the case.

“No, not a case of that at all, but getting a wee bit more twingey that maybe,” he said.

“Maybe I should think about it. I’ve got to say, for three months I’ve been great because I wanted to time off.”

Moyes managed 518 games during his time as the Everton manager where he was able to return an average of 1.54 points per game.

Despite being out of work currently, Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has hailed Moyes as ‘outstanding’.

Moyes have previously praised Jordan Pickford

A potential return to Merseyside would see Moyes get the chance to manage a player who he has previously hailed in Jordan Pickford.

“Jordan made some saves at key moments, he did well. Everton defended well, they made it really difficult,” Moyes told the Liverpool Echo after West Ham played the Toffees.

Since his time away from Goodison, Moyes has shown his ability having led West Ham to a European trophy in the Europa Conference League.

Although that is not to say he could replicate that at Everton, it is a reminder of what he is capable of doing at a club not considered one of the top sides.

And Moyes has said how difficult Everton are to play against as he has tipped them for a draw when his two former sides meet this weekend.
