  • FA Cup: Everton secures win after Sean Dyche sacking

    FA Cup: Everton secures win after Sean Dyche sacking

    Everton avoided FA Cup embarrassment with a 2-0 victory against third-tier Peterborough just hours after Sean Dyche was sacked by the struggling Premier League club on Thursday.

    Dyche was axed less than four hours before the third-round tie, with the club’s new owners, the Friedkin Group, reportedly in talks with former Everton boss David Moyes about a return to Goodison Park.

    Moyes is the bookmakers’ favourite for the job of saving Everton from relegation, 12 years after he left for Manchester United.

    The Scot, who managed Everton in a successful spell between 2002 and 2013, has been out of work since leaving West Ham at the end of last season.

    The Toffees are once again battling to avoid relegation after winning just one of their past 11 games, with that sole success coming against lowly Wolves in December.

    Dyche was at the Everton training ground earlier on Thursday to say his goodbyes after the axe fell, while the matchday programme for the Peterborough game still contained his column.

    Former Everton defender Leighton Baines, now the club’s under-18s coach, and captain Seamus Coleman took charge against Peterborough, using the starting lineup selected by Dyche before his dismissal.

    Peterborough’s Cian Hayes’ was inches away from giving them a shock first-half lead when his low drive was cleared off the line by Jarrad Branthwaite.

    But Beto finally lifted the mood among Everton’s subdued fans in the 42nd minute as he took Harrison Armstrong’s pass inside the area, rounded Peterborough keeper Nicholas Bilokapic and slotted into the empty net.

    In a blow to Everton, on-loan Chelsea striker Armando Broja needed oxygen before being stretchered off with his right ankle heavily strapped.

    There was no family affair for Everton defender Ashley Young, who came off the bench in the closing minutes, while his teenage son Tyler, who plays for Peterborough, remained an unused substitute.

    But Branthwaite was fouled by Jadel Katongo in stoppage time and Iliman Ndiaye converted the penalty as Everton made a winning start to life without Dyche.

  • Finally, struggling Everton fires manager, Dyche

    Finally, struggling Everton fires manager, Dyche

    Struggling Everton fired manager Sean Dyche on Thursday, just hours before their FA Cup third-round tie against Peterborough.

    Speculation about Dyche’s future had intensified with reports suggesting Everton’s new owners, the US-based Friedkin Group, had been talking to potential successors after completing a takeover of the Liverpool club.

    Everton said in a statement that Dyche had been “relieved of his duties as senior men’s first-team manager with immediate effect” and the process to appoint a new boss was under way.

    The Toffees are once again battling to avoid relegation from the Premier League after winning just one of their past 11 games, with that sole success coming against fellow strugglers Wolves in December.

    The club’s under-18s head coach Leighton Baines and captain Seamus Coleman will take charge on an interim basis while Everton’s new owners search for a permanent replacement for Dyche.

    Former Manchester United and Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, currently in charge of Turkish club Fenerbahce, has recently been linked with Everton.

    David Moyes, who managed Everton between 2002 and 2013, ex-England coach Gareth Southgate, Brentford boss Thomas Frank and Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola are also among the reported contenders.

    Everton have won only three times in 19 league matches this season and are languishing in 16th place, with only one point separating them from the relegation zone.

    Asked earlier this week if the club were considering his position, Dyche’s answer suggested he knew the sack could be looming.

    To be clear, it should be,” the former Burnley boss said.

    “At the end of the day, if you’re a business of this size, succession planning should surely be part of their diligence. I’ve got no problem with that at all.”

    Dyche took charge at Everton in January 2023 and kept them in the top-flight despite numerous issues, including last season’s points deduction for breaching Premier League rules on profit and sustainability.

    They finished 17th in Dyche’s first season and came 15th last term, extending their streak of being ever-present in the top-flight since 1954.

    Everton under new Manager Sean Dyche defeated league leaders Arsenal to swim out of relegation waters, the Merseysider climbed from 19th position to the 17th after securing three points against the Gunners.

    James Tarkowski has scored his first Premier League goal of the season and his first for Everton after heading home former teammate at Burnley David Oneil’s corner for the only goal of the encounter.

    He netted all of his seven previous Premier League goals for Burnley, under manager Sean Dyche.

    The loss is Arsenal’s second of the season after losing its first game to Manchester United in the first leg fixture.

    Closest rival Manchester City could cut the gap to 2 should the Citizens defeat Tottenham tomorrow at the Etihad.

    Former Burnley’s manager, Sean Dyche, has been announced as the new Everton boss to lead the relegation fight after Frank Lampard’s sacking and Marcelo Bielsa rejecting role.

    The 51-year-old returns to the dugout nine months after he was sacked by Burnley.

    Everton announces Sean Dyche as new boss after Lampard's sack

    Struggling Everton axed Frank Lampard on Monday with the club 19th in the Premier League.

    Former Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa had been owner Farhad Moshiri’s first-choice for the Goodison hot seat.

    He was in London yesterday for talks with the Toffees hierarchy, before reports claimed he had rejected the chance to become manager.

    It was gathered that Dyche also held talks with Everton on Thursday.

    Former Toffees boss, Sam Allardyce, was another considered, as was Davide Ancelotti, the son of ex-Goodison gaffer Carlo.

    While former Southampton boss Ralph Hassenhuttl was also on the shortlist.

    But ex-Burnley manager Dyche is the man tasked with leading Everton’s fight against relegation.

    He has been waiting for a top-flight offer after snubbing several approaches from Championship clubs.

    Dyche will reunite with James Tarkowski, Michael Keane and Dwight McNeil at Everton, having worked with all three players at Burnley.

    He takes over with the Toffees having won just three out of their 20 Prem games this season.

    And Dyche will be thrown straight in at the deep end after penning a deal to take over.

    His first game is a daunting meeting with league leaders Arsenal at Goodison Park on February 4th.

    The Toffees then make the short trip across Stanley Park to face Liverpool at Anfield nine days later.

    Dyche spent nine-and-a-half years with Burnley before being sacked by the Clarets last year.

    He also spent a year as manager of Watford before heading to Turf Moor in 2012.

    The statement reads in part: “Burnley Football Club can confirm the club has parted company with manager Sean Dyche, assistant manager Ian Woan, first-team coach Steve Stone and goalkeeping coach Billy Mercer.”

    chairman Alan Pace confirmed Sean Dyche’s departure from turf Moor.

    He said: “Firstly, we would like to place on record our sincere thanks to Sean and his staff for their achievements at the club over the last decade.

    “During his time at Turf Moor, Sean has been a credit both on and off the pitch, respected by players, staff, supporters, and the wider football community.

    “However, results this season have been disappointing and, while this was an incredibly difficult decision, with eight crucial games of the campaign remaining, we feel a change is needed to give the squad the best possible chance of retaining its Premier League status.

    “The process of replacing Sean has begun and further announcements will be made to supporters in due course.” He said
