Moyes Back at Sunderland with Everton

David Moyes returns to Sunderland’s Stadium of Light with Everton for first time since 2017 exit

David Moyes returns to Sunderland’s Stadium of Light with Everton on Monday for the first time since leaving Sunderland in 2017.

He says the lows he endured back then hardened him and strengthened his resolve.

The Scot believes the experience shaped his managerial philosophy and his approach at West Ham and Everton.

This visit marks Moyes’s first return to the Stadium of Light since his 2017 departure after Sunderland’s relegation.

He resigned to avoid paying the rest of his contract following relegation, a decision that defined his exit.

Moyes is known for pragmatic, hard nosed football, traits he says still suit Everton’s current challenge.

Everton will hope the trip does not become a distraction as they navigate a tough period on and off the pitch.
