David Moyes was named Premier League Manager of the Month for February for steering Everton away from relegation danger just weeks into his return to the Club.

The Scot was re-appointed as the Toffees' manager in January following the departure of Sean Dyche and after losing the first game just days after his arrival to Aston Villa, he has overseen a run of four wins and four draws that has left Everton 16 points clear of the drop zone heading into this weekend's round of fixtures.

In winning the award for the 11th time — and his first since picking up the accolade in 2012 when he was still at Goodison Park for his first spell — Moyes ties the tally reached by Pep Guardiola.

"It's been great being back in the building here," Moyes said on evertonfc.com.

"Everybody's made me feel really welcome and obviously winning enough games to be awarded the Manager of the Month has been huge for us.

"For me to join a club and, near enough in my first month, get Manager of the Month is more to do with the commitment of the players, their attitude and the way they've worked.

"They've been fabulous, the players. I'm really thrilled because the names of the people who are up there are unbelievable coaches and managers."
