Everton will thrash out contract details with Sean Dyche on Friday, as they look to appoint him as their new manager before the weekend.
On a dramatic morning in their search to replace Frank Lampard, the former Burnley manager emerged as the unanimous choice for the club, with owner Farhad Moshiri ultimately choosing Dyche to guide the Blues out of relegation trouble.
Moshiri held meetings with Marcelo Bielsa, but it has emerged that the former Leeds boss didn’t want to assume control of the first team UNTIL the summer.
