David Moyes has voiced his determination to reach the top of the managerial tree.

Everton's bright young boss admits he is driven by the achievements of the great names in the game.

Moyes is already causing a stir at Goodison Park and takes his unsung Everton side to Birmingham on Saturday aiming to cement third place in the Barclays Premiership table.

Not only has his dream for the club, he has personal long-term ambitions as well.

Moyes has been inspired by the setting up of the National Museum's Hall of Fame, which recognises top managers and players, past and present.

He said: "What drives me on are these people - and they are all very humble.

"It is right they should be remembered because they are or have been top players or managers.

"The only way they get in is by being voted in - and that is hard.

"I have always been interested in players and managers. The more you get involved, you start to think 'how good was he?' You want to hear the stories.

"I am probably looked on as one of babies when it comes to coaching. But wouldn't it be a fantastic achievement if you could ever get to the level these people are at?"

Moyes began to make his mark at Preston, where he took the club to the old First Division play-off final.

He remains grateful for the support of former England international Sir Tom Finney during his time at Deepdale.

He said: "I look up to up to him and say 'what a man he is'. You look at the way he carries himself.

"There are so many like Sir Tom who are really respectful and grateful. To be honest I look on them with awe."

Moyes welcomed the new deal, saying: "I am ever so pleased. The opportunity to sign a second contract at Everton doesn't come around very often, whoever you are.

"I am delighted and extremely humbled to receive it because I realise that a big part in me getting this is because the players have performed well.

"I also feel that we have made progress in the past two and a half, three years and I now see a much better future for Everton. That is making me think that i's certainly the right place for me to put my name to."

Everton chairman Bill Kenwright has been desperate for Moyes, whose initial contract at the club ran out at the end of next season, to sign a new deal.

He said: "I am thrilled that David has decided to pledge his future to Everton and am absolutely certain that Evertonians all over the world will be similarly excited.

"Since his arrival at Goodison Park, David has proved himself to be one of the most gifted young managers of his generation."
