Malky Mackay, the man who gave Sean Dyche his big break on the road to management, believes Everton have hired “more than a head coach” who possesses a far greater depth of thought than many give him credit for.
The 50-year-old Scot, now back in his homeland with Premiership side Ross County, brought Dyche in as his assistant at Watford and the now Everton manager ended up succeeding him at Vicarage Road.
Mackay told the ECHO: “I first really got to know Sean when he was the Under-18s manager, driving the mini bus from the academy up to the training ground, watching him do his sessions, being in the lunch room with him and having coffee with him, we just clicked. I find him engaging, gregarious and diligent in his work.
