• Scot signs two-and-a-half-year deal to succeed Dyche
• ‘It’s great to be back – I didn’t hesitate’

David Moyes has been appointed Everton’s new manager, almost 12 years after leaving Goodison Park for Manchester United.

The 61-year-old has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract to succeed Sean Dyche, who was sacked by the club’s new owners, The Friedkin Group (TFG), on Thursday having indicated to them he had taken the team as far as he could.
