Everton\u2019s attention now turns to the Merseyside Derby, with David Moyes fully aware of how much is riding on the final six matches of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the outset of the campaign, Moyes has driven the club toward a push for European qualification. His success in keeping the Blues firmly in contention at this stage has not gone unnoticed, sparking increasing talk of a new contract for the 62-year-old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a growing belief that Everton will look to extend Moyes\u2019 deal in the summer. Although he still has a year left on his current contract, many feel his impressive work this season warrants a reward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Moyes has played down any immediate discussions, insisting his focus remains on the crucial run-in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He explained that contract talks are not a priority right now, as his attention is firmly on the remaining fixtures, which will ultimately shape how the season is judged. He also stressed his desire for Everton to consistently compete at the top end of the table, making the current situation more important than any personal negotiations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The experienced manager has also spoken about his ambition to win trophies at the club, especially after being compared to former Everton great Harry Catterick. Since returning to Merseyside last January, Moyes has done an excellent job steadying the team, but his focus remains on achieving bigger objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Securing European football is Everton\u2019s primary goal this season\u2014one Moyes set at the beginning of the campaign. While he has successfully guided the club away from past relegation struggles, discussions over a new contract are far from his immediate concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Everton\u2019s attention now turns to the Merseyside Derby, with David Moyes fully aware of how much is riding…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5370,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-5369","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uncategorized"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/legitsportnews.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/www.google.com_skysports-david-moyes-everton_7118401.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/legitsportnews.com.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5369","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/legitsportnews.com.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/legitsportnews.com.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/legitsportnews.com.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/legitsportnews.com.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5369"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/legitsportnews.com.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5369\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5371,"href":"https:\/\/legitsportnews.com.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5369\/revisions\/5371"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/legitsportnews.com.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5370"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/legitsportnews.com.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5369"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/legitsportnews.com.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5369"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/legitsportnews.com.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5369"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
