The Times: Moyes 'on the brink' of Everton return

Paul Joyce claims that the club was close last night to agreeing terms with the 57-year-old Scot who spent 11 years at Goodison Park before leaving for a failed spell at Manchester United.

Moyes followed that with unsuccessful spells at Real Sociedad, Sunderland and West Ham and has been out of work since being ditched by the Hammers 18 months ago in favour of Manuel Pellegrini.

Everton sacked manager Marco Silva last week and placed Duncan Ferguson in temporary charge of Saturday's pulsating victory over Chelsea but according to The Times they are ready to turn back to Moyes after failing to land Vitor Pereira from SIPG Shanghai.

Joyce writes that "it was not clear last night whether Moyes ... will be appointed initially on an interim basis with the possibility of the role becoming permanent if he makes a successful start, or whether he would be given the job on a longer-term contract."
