David Moyes has achieved a significant milestone in Premier League history, becoming only the third manager to reach 700 games in charge. The 61-year-old Scotsman, now in his second stint as Everton manager, started his journey in the Premier League as the youngest manager back in 2002.
David Moyes has etched his name in Premier League history, becoming the third manager to reach the milestone of 700 games in charge. The 61-year-old Scotsman, now in his second stint as Everton manager, first took the helm at Goodison Park in 2002 as the league's youngest boss. Fast forward 23 years, and he returns as the division's oldest, a testament to his enduring career in English football.
\Moyes' journey has seen him lead Everton twice, as well as manage West Ham United on two occasions. He also had brief stints at Manchester United and Sunderland. This remarkable feat places him behind only Arsene Wenger (828 games) at Arsenal and Sir Alex Ferguson (810 games) at Manchester United. \Speaking about reaching this landmark, Moyes expressed humility and pride: 'It's incredible really. When you start out, I don't think you ever believe you will become a Premier League manager but to get 700 games behind me is a fair achievement, I am very pleased.' He acknowledged the daunting heights set by Wenger and Ferguson, stating, 'There's two great managers ahead of me in Arsene and Alex. I don't think I'll be making their numbers, that's for sure.' \This weekend will see a generational clash on the touchline, with Moyes facing off against Brighton's 31-year-old manager, Fabian Hurzeler, marking the league's eldest and youngest managers. Moyes fondly recalled receiving advice from the late Sir Bobby Robson during his early days in the Premier League, highlighting the significant shift in managerial demographics over the years. He expressed gratitude for the opportunities he has received throughout his career, stating, 'I remember Sir Bobby giving me a few wise words... It is amazing how it has changed around and I have been really fortunate and lucky to have been given opportunities at clubs.' \ The Everton manager's quest to secure Premier League survival continues. His team celebrated a crucial 3-2 victory over Tottenham on Sunday, moving them four points clear of the relegation zone. However, their progress has been hampered by the potential loss of midfielder Dwight McNeil. McNeil is likely to undergo knee surgery after missing the past seven games due to injury. Moyes acknowledged the significant impact McNeil's absence has on their attack, stating, 'It is a real blow because we need him back for things like set-pieces and deliveries and his general play.' \ The future of striker Armando Broja remains uncertain, with Everton in discussions with Chelsea regarding an early termination of his season-long loan. Broja's season has been cut short due to an ankle injury, and a final decision is yet to be made. Moyes commented, 'A firm decision has not been taken but I think from the conversations we have had it is a possibility. At this moment, it's not confirmed quite yet.
