Jack Grealish told one Premier League manager would help him 'bounce back' after Man City snub

Jack Grealish is set for a new chapter in his career for the 2025/26 season.

Man City have left Grealish out of their squad for the FIFA Club World Cup this summer, and as a result, the winger is expected to leave the Etihad Stadium before the new Premier League season gets underway in August.

It was reported last week that Grealish has accepted that his Man City career is over, which comes off the back of his worst campaign in Manchester as the 29-year-old fell down Pep Guardiola’s pecking order, starting just one out of City’s last 21 Premier League matches.

Several clubs have shown an interest in the winger; however, Grealish has now been told by Don Hutchison which one to join as their manager would get the best out of the former Aston Villa star.

David Moyes will help Jack Grealish get back to his best

It has been reported that Everton are one of the frontrunners to sign Grealish this summer, with the Merseyside club keen on taking the winger on loan for the 2025/26 campaign.

Speaking on ESPN FC, Hutchison thinks this move would benefit the Englishman, as the pundit believes David Moyes would be the right man to help the 29-year-old get back to his best.

“He’ll bounce back. He probably needs someone like David Moyes at Everton. That is where he has been rumoured to go,” Hutchison said.

“He needs David Moyes to put an arm around him, tell him he is brilliant, put him in a system, go and be a maverick, go and play. Let him enjoy his football.”

Moyes has done a great job at Everton ever since returning to the Toffees last season, and the Blues are not expected to be fighting relegation throughout the 2025/26 campaign, as they prepare to move into their new stadium.

Grealish has other options in the Premier League should he want to stay in England; however, Hutchison may be right about the influence Moyes could have on the winger.

Jack Grealish’s record vs Everton

Joining Everton would save Grealish from having to play against the Toffees next season, as the 29-year-old does not have the best record against the Merseyside club.

The Man City star has faced the Blues on nine occasions, winning five, drawing three, and losing just one. The Englishman has never scored a goal or produced an assist against the Toffees, which is evidence of how difficult he finds playing against them.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for Grealish as this next move is crucial if he wants to go to the 2026 World Cup with England.
