David Moyes returning to Everton after Marco Silva's sacking might be the 'step back that is required' for the club, says ex-captain Leon Osman.
Moyes spent a fruitful 11 years as Everton manager, leading the Toffees to top-eight finishes in nine of his 11 full seasons in charge.
"A few months ago, or even a couple of weeks ago, your first reaction as a fan is 'do we really want to do that? Do we really want to go backwards to someone who was there?'" she told BBC Radio 5 Live. "But actually with the way the team is performing at the moment, lacking in belief and togetherness, you know at the very least that David Moyes is somebody who understands this football club, understands what it means and what a privilege it is to be part of it.
In 2011, the Scot returned to the club in a coaching role with the academy before working his way up to the first team where he has been part of the backroom staff under several managers.
