David Moyes would rather go to Everton than West Ham United, as reported by Football Insider.

What’s the story?

Both the Hammers and Toffees are said to have made preliminary contact with Moyes due to concern over the tenures of Manuel Pellegrini and Marco Silva respectively.

Moyes has already managed both clubs in the past, spending 11 years at the Everton helm, while only lasting around six months at London Stadium.

Of the two options available to him, Moyes is said to prefer a move to Goodison Park rather than returning to East London.

A lucky escape

West Ham may have had a lucky escape if Moyes does go through with the decision to rejoin Everton.

The Scotsman has not had a single managerial job in over a year since leaving the Hammers at the 2017/18 season’s culmination.

He did manage to keep the club in the Premier League that campaign, but that should not be the aim for West Ham considering the stadium move and investment that has been put into the playing squad.

There are other linked managers who have got plenty of fans excited, including Eddie Howe and Sean Dyche.

While there is no guarantee West Ham will be able to get either of them, the club should be aiming higher than someone they dismissed less than two years ago.

In other news, a 60-year-old former Premier League manager has been linked with the role if Pellegrini is dismissed.
