Sean Dyche has been confirmed as the new manager of Everton.
Former Burnley boss Dyche has been out of work since last April, when his highly-successful 10-year stint at Turf Moor came to an end. But he is now back in the Premier League, tasked with dragging the Toffees away from relegation trouble, signing a deal until 2025.
Dyche, 51, replaces Frank Lampard at Goodison Park, having emerged as the unanimous choice among the club’s board. Owner Farhad Moshiri had initially been keen to hire Marcelo Bielsa, who flew in for talks, but meetings with the former Leeds United manager saw the Argentine declare that he preferred to take over the first team in the summer, questioning whether his methods would have the required immediate effect.
