Moyes defends recent managerial record: Sunderland out of sync

David Moyes has defended his recent managerial record.

Moyes left relegated Sunderland at the end of last season.

"I think Harry Redknapp got it right when he said Antonio Conte couldn't have kept up Sunderland last season," he told the Daily Mail.

"Look at Manchester United. It's taken them a few hundred million to get them in a good order. At Real Sociedad, we kept them up, we did the job we had to do there. The only one that looks a little bit out of sync is Sunderland. And it was probably the hardest to take. I think my record of losing two games in a row was minimal.

"I'd go back to the training ground, find a way. But last year I couldn't get it to work, and it was getting me down because I was losing. That was my first relegation and I hope it'll be my last."
