Everton has fired manager Sean Dyche with the Toffees sitting just one point above the Premier League relegation zone after a wretched run of form in recent weeks

SEAN DYCHE has broken his silence on his Everton sacking. The 53-year-old was axed just hours before the Toffees’ FA Cup clash with Peterborough last Thursday. Everton have since confirmed

Everton has fired manager Sean Dyche in the first big call by its new American owners. The team is two spots above the relegation zone in the Premier League.

Dyche left Everton just hours before the club's FA Cup game on Thursday night, but the team will need to make further additions in January beyond just a new manager.

Sean Dyche said Wednesday he had left Everton at "the right time" after managing the club during "one of its toughest periods in its history".

At the time, Everton was teetering above the relegation zone, positioned 16th in the Premier League. David Moyes then swiftly took the reins for his second spell at the club within 48 hours, signing a two-and-a-half-year deal to succeed Dyche, who originally managed at Goodison Park between 2002 and 2013.

The goalless draw with Chelsea was the first of TFG’s ownership and was watched by newly-installed Everton executive chairman Marc Watts. His regime was firm in its initial support of Dyche and the status quo while they began work on overhauling the club behind the scenes.

Dyche was appointed as Everton manager on January 30, 2023, and led the club to Premier League survival. He did the same again in the 2023-24 season despite an unprecedented double points deduction after the Blues were found guilty of breaching Profit and Sustainability Rules.

Sean Dyche has been sacked as manager of Everton, the club confirmed on Thursday. Dyche took over from Frank Lampard in 2023. Although Dyche steered Everton from relegation in back-to-back seasons amid financial strife, a combination of poor form and an uninspiring style of football has seen the Merseyside outfit act.

Sean Dyche was brutally sacked by Everton last week, with the Toffees choosing to re-appoint former boss David Moyes - and he has now spoken out on his departure

Sean Dyche says it was the right time to leave Everton amid "one of its toughest periods in its history". Dyche was sacked less than four hours before the FA Cup tie with Peterborough last Thursday by the club's new owners, The Friedkin Group, with Everton 16th in the Premier League and only one point above the relegation zone.
