David Moyes is in for his second spell as Everton manager after previously managing the club for eleven years between 2002 and 2013.
His time as manager during that period was great for the club, with countless finishes in the top 6, and even coming in fourth place in the 20025/2005 campaign, which to this day is still their best season.
Moyes had multiple quality players at his disposal; Leighton Baines was a highly regarded full-back, and Tim Howard was a fantastic shot-stopper.
However, he also managed current Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta for six years, and the Scotsman seemed to have a big impact on him.

Mikel Arteta names David Moyes one of the best Premier League managers
Everton are the club Mikel Arteta played the most for throughout his playing career, with 209 appearances for the Toffees.
During that time, his quality was evident, and he won multiple Player of the Season awards for the club.
It appears his spell at Goodison had quite the impact on him, as he has now given David Moyes huge praise.
Mikel Arteta named Moyes in his Mount Rushmore of Premier League managers alongside greats such as Arsene Wenger, Pep Guardiola, and Sir Alex Ferguson.

Players seem to love working for David Moyes
David Moyes’ man-management is one of his strong suits, based on the words of his former players.
His style of leading has returned Jack Grealish to his best, and the Englishman is one of the most in-form players in the league right now.
Tim Howard has played for both David Moyes and Sir Alex Ferguson, but it’s the Everton manager he believes is the greatest.
Bringing the Scotsman back to the club last season was an excellent appointment, and Everton already look better for it.
While David Moyes was scared a second spell could ruin his legacy, the current projection is pointing towards adding to it.
