The Scotsman had never ruled out a return to Premier League management after leaving West Ham at the end of his contract this year.

Ex West Ham manager David Moyes has been tipped to make a 'sensational' return to management at his former club Everton with pressure mounting on Sean Dyche at Goodison Park.

The Toffees have endured a torrid start to the Premier League campaign, losing all three of their opening matches. Everton sit rock bottom of the table having conceded 10 goals and scored just two in those fixtures.

The Merseyside outfit were 2-0 up after 86 minutes against AFC Bournemouth last weekend but ended up losing 3-2 to Andoni Iraola's side. Dyche labelled that result the 'most frustrating' of his management career as calls for change from supporters grow.

Football Insider now reports that Moyes could make a 'sensational' return to action should Dyche be relieved of his duties by Everton. The outlet reports that sources have informed them that the Scotsman would 'love' a return to the club where he spent 11 years between 2002 and 2013.

Moyes left his post at West Ham this summer upon the expiry of his contract but had been in talks with the London club over an extension. He was replaced by Julen Lopetegui and spent this summer providing punditry at Euro 2024, but hadn't ruled out a return to management.

Speaking about his love for the Premier League and a potential return to management, the former Manchester United and Sunderland manager said: "If the right opportunity comes up and it suits me and the family, I might do. I'm really keen to make sure British managers get opportunities to manage in other countries.

“If you look at the Premier League, we bring in all the best managers from different countries. We're not exporting enough British managers to work in the other leagues. But we're quite happy to bring in all the other managers here, which is limiting a lot of the British managers to manage some of the top jobs. The Championship was once full of young British coaches, but it's similar to the Premier League now. 

“I want to try and make sure we're pushing young British coaches to get jobs in overseas countries. It's easy to say we've got people working in Norway or Thailand, but in the top big five leagues in Europe we have very few working there."
