Moyes Returns to Stadium of Light With Everton, Reflects on Relegation-Hit Sunderland Tenure

His pre-match remarks strike a conciliatory tone, balancing fond memories with regret over results.

Overview

  • Everton visit Sunderland on Monday, 3 November, marking David Moyes’ first game back at the ground since his 2016–17 spell ended in relegation and resignation.
  • Moyes told reporters he “had a really good time” at Sunderland but remains “disappointed” they “didn’t do a bit better.”
  • Sunderland have surged under Régis Le Bris, reported fourth after nine Premier League matches and beaten only once in their last seven league games.
  • Moyes holds a strong record against Sunderland, with 14 wins in 22 meetings and only two defeats.
  • Since replacing Sean Dyche in January, Moyes helped Everton avoid relegation and he highlighted Jordan Pickford’s development and recent clean-sheet record ahead of the keeper’s return.
