Everton manager David Moyes expressed optimism about the club’s future following an emotional farewell to Goodison Park, their home for over 130 years. In their final men's match at the historic ground, Iliman Ndiaye scored twice to secure a 2-0 victory over Southampton, capping off the occasion with a much-needed win.
Moyes, who returned to the club in January for a second managerial spell, spoke of the significance of the moment and the potential for renewed momentum.
The club is set to begin a new chapter at a 52,000-capacity stadium, which promises increased revenue and greater potential for growth. This move could mark a turning point for Everton, who have spent recent seasons battling relegation. The new stadium, coupled with the recent takeover by the US-based Friedkin Group, has reignited hopes that the team can once again aim for the top tier of English football.
Moyes reflected on the passionate scenes outside the stadium and the energy from the fans, noting the symbolic power of such moments. He believes that the unity and spirit displayed could be the foundation for a successful future. As the team prepares for life at their new home, Moyes is hopeful that the progress made and the emotional send-off at Goodison can be carried into this new era.
