Everton Manager Moyes Confirms Captain Coleman Will Stay Next Season

Everton manager David Moyes has confirmed that captain Séamus Coleman, 36, will remain at the club next season despite being out of contract and having limited playing time this year due to injuries. Coleman, who joined Everton from Sligo Rovers in 2009 and holds the club record for Premier League appearances, has been a vital leader and figure within the team, with Moyes emphasizing his importance beyond just playing. Moyes highlighted Coleman's professionalism and leadership, stating it would be wrong to let him go as he has helped the club through difficult periods and will continue to be part of the squad as Everton move to their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. Although Coleman’s on-field role has diminished, Moyes indicated he could have a role beyond playing next season. Coleman is also set to continue representing the Republic of Ireland and is expected to participate in upcoming international fixtures. The club and manager regard him as an Everton legend, valuing his long-term commitment and influence on and off the pitch.
