COACHING STAFF
MANAGER
David Moyes
Nationality: Scottish
Returns to the club he managed for half a season in 2017/18. Despite the fact he led the club out of the relegation zone and to safety then, the Scot was not offered an extension to his six-month contract. After 11 years at Everton, in which he oversaw great progress both on and off the pitch, Moyes has become something of a managerial journeyman, with short stints at Manchester United, Real Sociedad, Sunderland and then West Ham. Will hope to stay longer on this second coming.
ASSISTANT
Alan Irvine
Nationality: Scottish
Worked as Moyes' assistant at Everton for two years before embarking on a managerial career of his own, with Preston, Sheffield Wednesday and West Brom. After that he returned to being an assistant and joined up with Moyes again at West Ham in 2017/18.
ASSISTANT
Stuart Pearce
Nationality: English
The England legend worked alongside Moyes at the club in 2017/18, but his return was initially blocked by the owners following perceived criticism at the end of that stint. Subsequently cleared the air and returned in August 2020.
