Credit: Imago Thu 14 May 2026 14:53, UK David Moyes has been passed up for the Premier League’s Manager of the Season award, despite a strong campaign for Everton.The Toffees are still in the race for European football with two games remaining, despite spending much of last season flirting with the relegation zone. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will likely be the favourite to win the award if his side win the Premier League, although Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola is also a strong contender.Should Everton’s form see them over the line in the race for European football, the decision to snub Moyes will look an even more bizarre one.



Jarrad Branthwaite, arguably Everton’s best centre-back, has spent virtually the entire season out injured, making just 10 appearances.Star man Jack Grealish also saw his season ended early with a foot problem, cutting a chunk out of the Toffees’ attack.For obvious reasons, the judgment over Manager of the Season nominees is limited to the season in question. But it should be acknowledged that, despite everything Moyes has had to deal with, he could still take his team to a six-place jump up the table.Michael Carrick nomination is an insult to MoyesAmong the candidates for Manager of the Season are Premier League title challengers Arteta and Pep Guardiola, as well as Europe chasers Iraola and Keith Andrews.It is hard to argue that Regis Le Bris’ nomination is not deserved either, considering how comfortable Sunderland have been on their Premier League return.But the final candidate may leave Moyes with a bad taste in his mouth.

Michael Carrick arrived at Manchester United to replace Ruben Amorim in January and has undoubtedly done a good job.🐝 Andrews🔴 Arteta👹 Carrick🔵 Guardiola 🍒 Iraola🐈‍⬛ Le BrisGet voting for your @barclaysfooty Manager of the Season 👇— Premier League (@premierleague) May 14, 2026 View Tweet The Englishman has won 10 of 15 Premier League games, securing Champions League football and likely earning the permanent appointment.Carrick has got a team lacking confidence now playing well and he deserves credit, but a nomination for Manager of the Season over the likes of Moyes appears unwarranted. His best response will be to lead Everton to six points to end the season, securing European football and making his snub look even more ridiculous. 🔵 Everton FC Master Hub 🔵 The definitive digital directory for the Toffees.
