Toffees' new assistant confirmed
by Chris Stanton, 04 July 2008
Everton have confirmed the appointment of Steve Round as David Moyes’s new assistant manager.
The announcement follows lengthy talks between The Toffees and Newcastle, the club where Round held the post of first-team coach.
Moyes has been without an assistant since Alan Irvine left to manage Preston in November and Round is delighted to have been given the chance to become a number two.
Round told EvertonTV: "Once David asked me, and I met him, it was a definite.
"He sold me the club, he sold me the ideas, he sold me how he was moving it forward and how he wanted to take the next step.
"I said I would definitely come and here we are."
