Everton news: Former Manchester City man seals move to Goodison Park
Everton have secured the return of their former coach who was at Manchester City, Stoke City as well as Plymouth Argyle.
The Toffees, under The Friedkin Group’s ownership, are looking to make changes behind the scenes.
David Moyes replacing Sean Dyche was certainly the major change, but new backroom staff members are also being brought in.
Peter Cavanagh returns to Everton as Under-21s assistant
Peter Cavanagh was the full-time Foundation Coach at the Toffees from July 2015 to June 2020.
After that, he was promoted to the youth phase Lead Coach, a role which he held until January 2022.
However, on 4 March, Cavanagh confirmed on LinkedIn that he has returned to Everton where he will be the Under-21s assistant coach.
He wrote: “It’s been nearly two weeks since I came back to a place I know really well. Tonight was my first experience of a home game as part of the U21 coaching group.
“Z Cars and win to advance to the semi-finals of the Senior Cup. It’s great seeing players I remember as young boys performing as young men.”
Baines was the club captain under the Scotsman and the duo shared a very good working relationship from Moyes’ first stint at the club.
The former left-back was the manager of the Under-18s and he got promoted to the first team to be one of the assistants.
That move started the overhaul of the academy, a project which has been undertaken by The Friedkin Group.
Hopefully, this yields in better results and there are more talented youngsters that are knocking on the door for a first-team debut.
Abdoulaye Doucoure has been a key player for Everton since David Moyes took the reins at Goodison Park in January.
Make no mistake, Doucoure was a regular starter under Sean Dyche, making 18 appearances across all competitions under the Englishman.
However, the Mali international has sprung to life under Moyes as he has scored two goals and provided an assist in his last three Premier League appearances.
This is despite the 32-year-old failing to register a single goal or assist in the league before February this season.
With Doucoure in fine form, there is no doubt that he will continue to be an important player for Moyes between now and the end of the season.
