Everton ace backs former Man United boss David Moyes to make Premier League return

SEAMUS COLEMAN admits he's "disappointed" things didn't work out for David Moyes in Spain.

 

The former Everton and Manchester United boss was sacked from his managerial post at Real Socided yesterday, after almost a year in charge.

Moyes had suffered a disappointing start to the campaign this season, winning twice in 11 matches.

But Baines believes Moyes still has a lot to give and hopes he returns to management soon.

"I'm massively disappointed for him," Coleman told the media in Dublin.

"He was great with me and he took me from Sligo Rovers, obviously with the help of a scout. 

"He taught me a lot about the game. He was tough operator but he was fair and I was delighted to see him get the United job. 

Moyes departed Everton in 2013 after 11 years with the club to take on the difficult task of following in Sir Alex Ferguson's footsteps.

The Scot was at the Old Trafford helm for only 10 months before being shown the exit door, and Baines admits he was disappointed to see things not work out for him after leaving Goodison Park.

 

"I was disappointed with how the last 18 months went for him because he is a great manager and I've now seen that first hand but hopefully he'll be back in the game soon because he still has a lot to give," he added.

"He's respected a lot in the Premier League and I'm sure he'll get back in.

"He'll get going again but you know any of the lads who have been at Everton for a while under him only have good things to say about him. I'm disappointed for him, that's all I can really say."
