The Chosen One is back.
David Moyes, the man hand-picked by Sir Alex Ferguson to succeed him at Manchester United, is back in English football once more.
After his ill-fated reigns at both Manchester United and La Liga side Real Sociedad he has taken the helm at Sunderland.
Moyes has been installed as the Black Cats’ new boss on a four year deal at the Stadium of Light after Sam Allardyce left to take up the vacant England job.
The former Everton boss looked pretty pleased to be back in the Premier League and told Sunderland fans he’s relishing the challenge.

“I am delighted to have joined Sunderland. I am relishing the challenge and excited by the opportunity.
“I have taken over a big British club, with a great support and I’m looking forward to working in the Premier League again.
“I look forward to continuing the good work done by Sam”.
Sunderland fans seemed pretty chuffed with Moyes as their new boss…

You’d think after all this time Manchester United fans could wish him well in his new job at the North East club. You’d be wrong…
