Sean Dyche has revealed the reassuring advice former Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti delivered to him prior to a Premier League fixture against Burnley.
Dyche, who today was confirmed as the new Everton manager, was the Clarets' boss for a decade and enjoyed a wealth of success during that time as he secured promotion to the Premier League on two separate occasions before helping the club stay in the top flight for a prolonged period of time prior until their relegation in May 2022.
But Dyche, who also guide the Clarets into Europe after a seventh-placed finish , was often perceived as a limited manager, who could only govern his players in a 4-4-2, 'long-ball' style. But speaking prior to Everton's clash against their Premier League counterparts in March 2021, Ancelotti was having none of that.
