Wayne Rooney has praised Sean Dyche's start to life as Everton manager as the England icon has discussed his Premier League manager ambitions.
The Three Lions' all-time leading goalscorer was tipped to potentially succeed Frank Lampard after he was relieved of his duties at Goodison Park. However, nothing materialised for the former striker as he remains at DC United for his second season in the MLS.
Everton moved out of the relegation zone after their win over Leeds United last weekend as 51-year-old Dyche made it six points out of a possible nine in his opening three games in charge. Rooney, who enjoyed two spells in L4, believes there is more work to be done to ensure Premier League safety but insists it has been a "fantastic start".
