The 62-year-old head coach’s second stint as the manager for Toffees began in January 2025 after he was sacked from West Ham, though Moyes has now admitted his time as a football manager may be over when he leaves Everton.
When PLZ Soccer asked Moyes whether managing Everton would likely be his last job, he said: “I would probably say yes, but you never know how football goes.
“I actually thought West Ham was my last job, and also because I won a trophy, but I tell you what, I got a bug for maybe doing it again.”
He added: “The thought that I could maybe put another medal around my dad’s neck would be something special, so I’ve got to keep believing that’s a chance and hopefully somewhere down the line that will come around.”
During his seven years at West Ham, Moyes won the Europan Cup in 2023 - the first silverware the Hammers have seen in over 40 years.
However, the manager was let go in May 2024 following a string of poor results.
Reflecting on his termination from West Ham, Moyes said: “Look, the moment itself for me personally was a huge moment to be a European trophy winner.
“It’s hard enough to win any trophy let alone a European one and to do it at West Ham at the time was a big thing for the club. It was brilliant, to win late on [Lucas] Paqueta pass for [Jarrod] Bowen, it’s something sort of special about scoring a late goal.
“The east end of London on the open top bus was unbelievable, it really was. It was something which I’ll always remember because the amount of people who were on the streets, what it did for that part of London.
“And because there’s been a lot of success at other clubs in London; Arsenal, Tottenham more recently, more so Chelsea probably more.
“For West Ham especially not having any success for so long and then to get a moment. The open top bus was a joy and something I’ll always remember.”
Although Moyes conceeded it felt “a little bit” like he didn’t receive the recognition he deserved for winning West Ham a cup, he insisted he had a “brilliant time” at the club.
He said: “I got on really well with the board and I didn’t have a big problem with them at all. When I look back I think it was great years for me but it was also good for West Ham as well.”
