Sunderland manager David Moyes has resigned following the club’s relegation from the Premier League.<\/p>\n
The end of the Black Cats’ 10-year stay in the top flight was confirmed when they\u00a0lost to Bournemouth last month.<\/p>\n
Moyes, 54, informed chairman Ellis Short of his decision to step down at a meeting in London on Monday.<\/p>\n
“I wish the players and my successor well in their efforts towards promotion back to the Premier League,” said Moyes.<\/p>\n
Former Everton and Manchester United boss Moyes\u00a0took charge in July last year,\u00a0after Sam Allardyce left to become England manager.<\/p>\n
Sunderland finished bottom of the table this season with 24 points, having won only six games.<\/p>\n
“I pursued the services of David Moyes for a considerable period prior to his appointment last summer, which makes the announcement of his departure difficult for everyone concerned,” said owner Short.<\/p>\n
He said that Moyes was not taking compensation for his departure, calling it a “testament to his character”.<\/p>\n
“In the days ahead we will take some time for reflection, and then focus on recruitment and pre-season as we prepare for our Championship campaign. We wish David well in the future,” added Short.<\/p>\n
The Scot had\u00a0faced calls from Sunderland fans to quit\u00a0and initially said it was\u00a0“too soon” to commit to the club\u00a0following relegation.<\/p>\n
However, earlier this month he\u00a0suggested he would stay with the club\u00a0in the Championship next season, saying: “I know what needs to be done to get back in the Premier League.”<\/p>\n
In a club statement on Monday, Moyes said: “I would like to thank Ellis Short and the Board for giving me the opportunity to manage Sunderland and the fans for always being so passionately supportive of their club.”<\/p>\n
This is the first time Moyes has been relegated as a manager, having warned supporters just two games into the season that\u00a0his squad would struggle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
