David Moyes has revealed he has never spoken to or met Everton owner Dan Friedkin since his return to the club, according to BBC News.
Friedkin's ownership group took charge at Goodison Park following a takeover, but Moyes says there has been no direct contact between him and the American businessman, who also owns Roma.
The admission raises questions about the level of communication between Everton's hierarchy and the manager, though Moyes has not suggested it has affected his work at the club or his relationship with other senior figures.
