Everton sacked manager Sean Dyche..

Everton announced on its official website on Thursday that the club's English manager Sean Dyche has been sacked.

According to Everton's official statement, with this personnel change, assistant coaching staff members Ian Woan, Steve Stone, Mark Howard and Billy Mercer will also leave the club immediately.

Before the new manager is appointed, the club's legendary captain Seamus Coleman and the U18s team manager, the club's former legendary England international left-back Leighton Baines will temporarily take over the managerial position.

In fact, rumours speculating that Dyche may be sacked at any time has been circulating since the moment Roma president Dan Friedkin successfully acquired the club.

Many people have been speculating that after the club's largest shareholder changed hands, Friedkin will definitely dislike Dyche's tactical ideas for being too old-fashioned, and Everton's poor performance this season just gave Friedkin a better opportunity to sack Dyche.

After Dyche was sacked, it was rumored that Friedkin might consider appointing the club's former legendary Scottish manager David Moyes to return to the team as an interim manager until the end of this season.

It was also rumoured that Friedkin intended to appoint former AC Milan head coach Paulo Fonseca to replace Dyche, but both rumours have not been confirmed yet.

After 19 matches this season, Everton has achieved 3 wins, 8 draws and 8 losses, and is temporarily 16th on the table with 17 points, only 1 point more than Wolverhampton Wanderers and Ipswich Town who are in the relegation zone.

However, as the Clarets was in a relegation battle crisis in April 2022, Dyche was suddenly sacked. At that time, many media, pundits and fans criticized Burnley's management for being too hasty.
