Coaching Staff

David Moyes - Manager

David joined the Blues following the sacking of Walter Smith in March 2002. He was regarded as one of the most promising young managers in the country when he arrived at Goodison and has justified that assessment. He started his career in 1980 as a player with Celtic but he is best known for his successful spell in charge at Preston North End. In 2004 he signed a new five year contract, then in 2008 he pledged another five years to the Club before leading his side to the FA Cup final. Full profile.

Steve Round - Assistant Manager

Highly-ambitious, driven, shrewd and erudite – Steve Round is rightly regarded as one of the Premier League’s elite young coaches.

Formerly a full-back of some promise at Derby County, Round’s aspirations of on-pitch success were cruelly extinguished by injury at just 25.

Yet not unlike the late, great former Derby manager Brian Clough, a man whose own playing career was cut short, that painful blow left him with an unswerving determination to fulfil his ambitions through coaching.

Jimmy Lumsden - First Team Coach

Jimmy was appointed as first-team coach by David Moyes in the summer of 2002. The duo had worked together at Preston North End, and Lumsden had also coached the manager when he was a young player at Celtic. He has played for Leeds, Southend, Greenock Morton, St Mirren and Clydebank.

Chris Woods - Goalkeeping Coach

Chris was installed as goalkeeping coach when Walter Smith arrived from Glasgow Rangers in 1998. A former Ibrox star himself, Chris also played for Nottingham Forest, QPR, Norwich City, Sheffield Wednesday and Southampton as well as being a regular for England. At Everton he is tasked with the coaching and development of the goalkeeping stable. In October 2011 he was appointed goalkeeping coach of the USA national team, a role which sees him work with familiar faces Tim Howard and Marcus Hahnemann.

Andy Holden - Coach

A tough tackling defender during his playing days, former Wales international Andy enjoyed spells at Chester City, Wigan and Oldham Athletic. A long servant of Everton, he was originally tasked with managing the reserve team but now divides his time between both the second string and the first team.
