Everton has hired Sean Dyche as their new manager, previously of Burnley. He was sacked by Burnley 9 months ago. This is the 7th permanent manager appointment by Farhad Moshiri in 7 years.
Speaking to the club’s official website as reported by Sky Sports, Dyche said: “It’s an honour to become Everton manager. My staff and I are ready and eager to help get this great club back on track.
“I know about Everton’s passionate fanbase and how precious this club is to them. We’re ready to work and ready to give them what they want. That starts with sweat on the shirt, effort and getting back to some of the basic principles of what Everton Football Club has stood for for a long time.
“We want to bring back a good feeling. We need the fans, we need unity and we need everyone aligned. That starts with us as staff and players.
“Our aim is to put out a team that works, that fights and wears the badge with pride. The connection with the fans can then grow very quickly because they’re so passionate.
“There is quality in this squad. But we have to make them shine. That’s the job of me and my staff.
“We want to change the shape of this club going forward, remodel it in our style, but in a way that we can win.
“That’s the task in front of us – make sure we’re building, tactically and technically, giving players organisation, allow them the freedom to play, to go and enjoy their football because it’s brilliant when the team’s playing with a smile, but we’ve got to win.”
Frank Lampard was recently sacked as Everton’s manager after a 2-0 loss to West Ham. The club was in a struggling position, 2 points below the safety zone, with only one win in their last 10 games. Lampard was appointed in 2022 after managing Chelsea and Derby County. Sean Dyche, the new manager, has the task of preventing Everton’s descent to the Championship.
