'I find it incredible' - Everton boss David Moyes rails against what's happening in the Premier League

Everton boss David Moyes believes too many of his Premier League counterparts are finding themselves unduly under pressure or losing their jobs early

David Moyes believes clubs who stick by their managers have a better chance of success in a world of constant change. The Everton boss has backed a host of under-fire managers in recent weeks, expressing surprise at the pressure Brighton & Hove Albion's Fabian Hurzeler has been feeling.

He has now also namechecked FA Cup-winning manager Oliver Glasner and his Blues predecessor Sean Dyche, who spent just 114 days leading Nottingham Forest, in his latest comments, questioning an apparent change in culture within football.

Moyes suggested stability is an undervalued commodity in the industry when asked about the recent flurry of managerial changes in the Premier League ahead of Everton’s game with Manchester United on Monday at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Moyes will face a club led by a caretaker head coach in Michael Carrick after the departure of Ruben Amorim. As well as Dyche, Thomas Frank and Enzo Maresca have parted ways with their clubs - Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea respectively - in the opening weeks of 2026.

Meanwhile, the top three in the Premier League at the start of the weekend - Arsenal, Manchester City and Aston Villa - have been led by some of the longest-serving managers in the top flight.

And Moyes said: “I still think that the clubs who have stuck by their managers and given them longevity, they are the ones who get more success, and it means that they are more stable football clubs as well.”

Moyes praised the job Carrick, who has led Man United to four wins and a draw in their last five games, has done at Old Trafford ahead of Monday's meeting. After the Blues' draw at Brighton last month, he went to great lengths to praise Hurzeler, touting him as a potential future Germany manager.

At Finch Farm on Friday Moyes extended his argument against short-termism, adding: “I watched a little bit of Crystal Palace and the disappointment last night they had of drawing 1-1 away from home in a playoff game [against Polish side Jagiellonia Białystok in the Europa Conference League] - they have just been FA Cup winners and there is supposedly criticism with the manager, I find it incredible.

“I understand that maybe it's because of other things - he's not going to stay at the end of the season - but I think we're seeing it with several managers at the moment.

“Even Dyche. Dyche had a pretty good record with Nottingham Forest so I think there is a world out there which wants things to change very quickly. I think maybe the people who choose to go into the business of being a coach or a manager, I think you may have to accept it. You know your tenure might not be that long.”

Moyes said he was in “awe” of managers who consistently clinched silverware over long periods in the modern game and added that, in some cases, longevity represented success.

He said: “There's also a lot of managers who stay in the job. I'm one of them who's staying in the job and you keep going and you're there and you're trying to do it every year and you're trying to win a cup or you're trying to finish in Europe.

“If that's success, when so many nowadays are getting dropped so quickly - it might be a little bit of a success for the managers who actually have longevity in the leagues as well.”
