Everton are set to announce Sean Dyche as Frank Lampard's successor at Goodison Park.
The former Burnley manager, who oversaw two promotions with the Clarets during his 10-year spell at Turf Moor, is expected to edge out Marcelo Bielsa, who flew into London for talks with the Blues' hierarchy on Thursday, for the role on Merseyside.
Dyche has been out of work since being sacked by Burnley last April, with the Clarets' under-21s Michael Jackson tasked with trying to keep the club in the Premier League towards the end of the 2021/22 season - before he was replaced by Vincent Kompany during the summer.
