David Moyes will forever be remembered as “The Chosen One” who failed, at Manchester United. Managing a club as prestigious as Manchester United is one of the toughest tasks in the world - as Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho will corroborate, but following the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson made the task a hundred times over.

But many will forget the great work he put in to help Everton avoid relegation and turn them into a top 6 side, and even took them to a Champions League spot. Moyes made the switch to Merseyside in 2002 after a fruitful spell as manager of Preston North End. He kept the club in the Premier League and guided the team to a 7th place finish in the next season.

The Wayne Rooney sale helped Everton rebuild and the results were there to see: the club finished fourth and secured a place in the Champions League. After an unsuccessful next season, where they finished 11th, the club then finished in the top 6 in the next three seasons; Moyes had made the turnaround and brought some stability.

After the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson as the manager of Manchester United, Moyes was ‘chosen’ by the outgoing Scotsman to replace him. But it wasn’t to be for him; dreadful results and boring football resulted in his sacking.

A brief spell in Spain with Real Sociedad didn’t do much to his managerial credentials as he was sacked, and couldn’t help Sunderland from relegation, but did help West Ham United stay in the league in the 2017-18 season.

With 10 Manager of the Month awards, he’s third in the list of most Manager of the Month wins.
