Everton hero Steven can't see West Ham boss Moyes returning to Goodison Park

Everton hero Trevor Steven can't see David Moyes returning to Goodison Park.

The West Ham manager has been linked with the Blues.

But Steven told Sky Sports: "I don't see this happening. David Moyes did a tremendous job during his time at Everton, and I'm not saying that he's not the right man for the job.

"But what he's achieved at West Ham and the relationship he's built up with his players and the supporters, not to mention the board of directors and the ownership, he seems to be in a very good place on his own admission.

"He's taking West Ham back into Europe. Everton aren't in Europe so I can't see any reason why he'd want to go back. I don't it's the right fit and I don't think it's a good tactic to go back to clubs you've managed in the past. To move on and try new journeys is what management is about in the main.

"Ancelotti going back to Real Madrid but there aren't many teams in the world of that status. It was a difficult one to turn down. For Moyes, I feel his short-term future is at West Ham to see what they can do in Europe so I'd rule him out."
