Marouane Fellaini has confessed he broke down in tears, when David Moyes was sacked as Manchester United coach.
The Belgian followed Moyes from Everton to Old Trafford two seasons ago, after the Scot replaced Sir Alex Ferguson. 10 months into a six-year deal, Moyes was sacked.
Fellaini, who worked six years with Moyes at Goodison Park, recalled the day that the Glaswewgian was relieved of his duties.
“When he left I was sad,” the United midfielder told So Foot Magazine.
“We had heard things on the radio and TV [about Moyes leaving]. It was after a defeat to Everton.
“I did not know if it was true or not. Then I arrived the next day at the [training ground] canteen, and I saw him in his suit, rather than his tracksuit. I told myself: ‘This is the end.’
“It was weird. After I had eaten, he summoned [me] to his office and he told me the news. This is football.
“There were tears. This is normal. I am a human being. I worked with him for six years.
“He was not a second father, but almost. He helped me a lot”.
