Moyes rewarded for wonderful season

Everton manager David Moyes has admitted he was focused on avoiding relegation at the start of this season – only to embark on an “amazing” turn-around which saw him named League Managers’ Association Manager of the Year last night.

The Toffees finished fourth in the Barclays Premiership, pipping rivals Liverpool to a Champions League qualifier and giving them the chance of a place among the European elite next season.
