'The atmosphere is a lot more positive: when a new manager comes in it gives everyone a new lease of life, players that haven’t played as much get a new chance to impress' - Everton behind-the-scenes update after David Moyes makes immediate impact
David Moyes' second spell at Everton already has people at the club feeling differently about their future
Asmir Begovic has worked for his share of managers down the years, from Tony Pulis and Eddie Howe to Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte.
So the goalkeeper knows the routine when it comes to a change of coach - and has spoken positively of the impact David Moyes has had in the early days of his second spell at Everton.
Moyes returned to Goodison Park earlier this month as Sean Dyche's replacement and led Everton to a very convincing 3-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.
Asmir Begovic hails 'legend' David Moyes for changing feeling around Everton
Everton led 3-0 at the break in that encounter on Merseyside having struggled for goalscoring form under Dyche virtually all season.
And Begovic - who serves as deputy to Jordan Pickford at the club - feels a change in vibe was a big factor in that win.
The former Bosnia and Herzegovina international told Betway: "The atmosphere is a lot more positive – new manager bounce and of course, the legend that he is.
"The status and calmness that he brings with him has been really positive and a change for the better. He’s brought in a new energy."
