David William Moyes (born 25 April, 1963, in Glasgow, Scotland) is a football manager and former player, currently managing English Premier League club Everton. He was the 2003, 2005 and 2009 League Managers Association Manager of the Year. He is also on the Committee for the League Managers Association in an executive capacity.[1]

[edit] Playing career
Moyes enjoyed an unremarkable career as a centre half, that began with Celtic, where he won a championship medal, and ended with Preston North End, with whom he secured his first managerial position. Moyes made over 550 league appearances in his career before becoming a coach at Preston, working his way up to assistant manager before eventually taking over as manager in 1998.
[edit] Management career
[edit] Preston North End
Moyes took over as Preston manager in January 1998, taking over from Gary Peters as the club struggled in Division Two and were in danger of relegation. He had spent much of his playing career preparing for management, taking coaching badges at just 22 years of age and compiling notes on managers he had played under, their techniques and tactics[2]. Preston avoided relegation at the end of the 1997–98 season and reached the Division Two playoffs the following season which they failed to win. The following season though, Moyes guided Preston to the Division Two title and a promotion to Division One. An even greater achievement perhaps was to steer Preston into the Division One playoffs the season after that, with largely the same squad. Preston lost in the final of the playoffs in May 2001 and towards the end of the following season, Moyes left for Everton, to take over from fellow Scot Walter Smith in March 2002. Moyes was in charge of Preston 243 times, of which his team won 113 games, lost 63 and drew 67.
[edit] Everton
Moyes joined Everton on 14 March, 2002 and at his unveiling press conference, declared that Everton were 'The People's Club' on Merseyside. He said:
"I am from a city (Glasgow) that is not unlike Liverpool. I am joining the people's football club. The majority of people you meet on the street are Everton fans. It is a fantastic opportunity, something you dream about. I said 'yes' right away as it is such a big club." [3]
His first game in charge was against Fulham at Goodison Park. Everton won the game 2-1, with David Unsworth scoring after just thirty seconds.[4] Everton managed to sustain a good run of form and avoided relegation.
In 2002–03, Moyes' first full season in charge at Everton, he signed Chinese international Li Tie, Nigerian defender Joseph Yobo and Goalkeeper Richard Wright[5] and axed older players such as Jesper Blomqvist and David Ginola. Everton were edged out of qualification for the following season's UEFA Cup on the last day of the season by Blackburn Rovers, following a defeat to Manchester United, and finished 7th in the league. Moyes was awarded LMA Manager of the Year for the first time.[6]
For the 2003–04 season Moyes signed Kevin Kilbane from Sunderland, James Mcfadden from Motherwell, Nigel Martyn from Leeds United and Francis Jeffers returned on loan from Arsenal. Poor results followed though and Everton did not win a game in 2004 until the 28th February. A confrontation between Moyes and Duncan Ferguson at Everton's training ground was said to be symptomatic of the problems at the club.[7] Everton finished 17th with 39 points, the lowest total in the club's history,[8] just avoiding relegation.
Despite public turmoil throughout the club[9] Moyes managed to bring in Tim Cahill and Marcus Bent, whilst Tomasz Radzinski, Tobias Linderoth, David Unsworth and, most significantly Wayne Rooney, were amongst those who left the club. Later the Daily Mail would publish extracts from Rooney's autobiography, claiming that Moyes had forced Rooney out of the club and then leaked the details to the press.[10] Moyes went on to sue for libel before settling out of court when Rooney apologized and agreed to pay for damages.[11] Moyes donated the undisclosed damages from the suit to the Everton Former Players' Foundation.[12]
During the 2004-05 season Everton went on to surpass all expectations by finishing fourth in the league and securing a place in the following season's Champions League, Moyes again being awarded the LMA Manager of the Year award.[6] Moyes had broken club's transfer record to bring in striker James Beattie in January and as influential midfielder Thomas Gravesen left, Mikel Arteta came in on loan.
At the beginning of the 2005–06 season Moyes' team struggled. He bought Nuno Valente, Andy van der Meyde, Simon Davies, and Phil Neville, signed Matteo Ferrari on loan and made Mikel Arteta's loan into a permanent signing, but Everton were knocked out of the Champions' League and then the UEFA Cup at the first opportunity and their league form also struggled. Everton were bottom by October but eventually recovered to finish 11th.
Moyes broke the club transfer record for a second time at the start of the 2006-07 season with the £8.6m acquisition of Andrew Johnson. Joleon Lescott was also signed from Wolves and Tim Howard arrived on a loan deal, which was later made permanent. All of which proved to be successful signings, further enhancing Moyes' reputation. Whilst Everton's league form flourished again, Moyes' record in the FA Cup with Everton was not improved as they crashed out in a 1–4 defeat to Blackburn Rovers in the third round. An improved league position of sixth was secured though and UEFA Cup football for the next season. One of Moyes' more shrewd signings, Joleon Lescott, was voted Everton's player of the year and was a credit to Moyes' dealings in the transfer market.
It was the 2007-08 season that Everton displayed the most consistency and stability since Moyes arrived at the club, finally ending the cycle of alternating between the top and bottom halves of the league. In his sixth full season in charge, Moyes secured fifth place in the league and reached the semi-final of the Football League Cup as well as the Last 16 of the UEFA Cup, eventually being beaten on penalties by Fiorentina. Moyes also signed four more players who turned out to be very important players for Everton this season. Yakubu was signed for another record fee of £11.25m, Steven Pienaar for £2.05m after an initial loan, Phil Jagielka was brought in for £4m and Leighton Baines was signed for a fee that could rise to £6m. This season, following on from the previous, gave Everton and its fans cause for optimism around the team's performance and broke the pattern inconsistency which saw league finishes of 15th, 7th, 17th, 4th and 11th under Moyes. His reputation as a disciplinarian could be seen to manifest in Everton's yellow card count. They received just 27 yellow cards all season - the lowest in the league and 6 less than their nearest rival Liverpool.[13]
Moyes' first move of the 2008–09 season was to bring in Steve Round as his assistant manager to replace Alan Irvine. Everton's first new player of the season, Lars Jacobsen, was brought in 2 games into the season. This was shortly followed by the signings of Segundo Castillo and Louis Saha. On deadline day, Moyes secured the services of goalkeeper Carlo Nash on a free transfer, and Marouane Fellaini for a club record £15 million. At the end of the transfer window January 2009, Moyes brought in Brazilian international striker Jô on loan from Manchester City. On 14 October, 2008, Moyes agreed to extend his Goodison Park stay by a further five years.[14]
"Mr. David Moyes is probably a fine example to everybody in government of stability and making the right decisions for the long term."
– Andy Burnham, Secretary of State for Culture, Media & Sport, [1]
