“Clubs are too quick to sack their managers” – David Moyes

On the heels of Andre Villas-Boas’ dismissal at Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United manager David Moyes, has said that clubs are not patient with coaches and stressed that stability was important to teams.
Villas-Boas became the fifth manager to be sacked this season, after 17 months in charge of the North London side. Moyes spent four years as Preston North End boss, before he moved to Everton in 2002, where he spent 11 years.

“It makes me realise how lucky I have been at the clubs I have been at,” Moyes, who has struggled in his first months as United manager, told reporters.

“I worked for great people at Preston, great people at Everton and my short experience at Manchester United tells me I am working for really good people here.

“Maybe some of the other managers haven’t been as fortunate as I have.”
Moyes also pointed to Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, as proof that sticking with your manager pays off eventually.

“I am a great advocate of managers, I want managers to be given opportunities,” he added. “I am involved with the LMA [League Managers' Association]. We are saying the best clubs have had stability.

“Look at Arsene Wenger, the stability he has given Arsenal. Sir Alex at United and even what happened to myself at Everton.

“Obviously the owners and chairman have their own reasons but the clubs who have given the managers that period of time have benefited.

“It is getting less and less to see that in football. The more we see it, it might help clubs gain a bit more control and stability. In turn it might mean they are not hiring and firing managers quite so often.”
