Everton has decided to part ways with manager Sean Dyche after a string of underwhelming performances this season. The club's new owners, the Friedkin Group, felt Dyche was unable to turn around the team's fortunes and prevent a potential relegation. Despite keeping Everton in the Premier League in his first two seasons, Dyche's tenure has been marked by a lack of goals and an inability to create chances. The club is now searching for a new manager to steer them towards a brighter future.
Everton 's decision to sack Sean Dyche comes after the manager ran out of road and ideas and new owners the Friedkin Group decided they could not let the rot of this season end in relegation.
The ideal scenario for the Friedkin Group would have been to let Dyche's contract run to its conclusion at the end of the season with Everton safe, setting up a natural break with an opportunity to re-set.
This season, however, Everton have gone into decline, with the damage starting to be done when they lost 3-2 at home to Bournemouth on 31 August after leading 2-0 with four minutes of regulation time left. In the 10 games before meeting Peterborough, Wolves defender Craig Dawson was Everton's top scorer with two own goals in a rare 4-0 win at Goodison Park.
Former Everton midfielder and pundit Leon Osman told BBC 5 Live Sport's Monday Night Club: "Doing commentaries on their games is not easy because not much happens. And yet, with Everton 16th in the Premier League, one point above the drop zone, the so-called unthinkable was becoming very thinkable given the long run of poor form and chronic inability to score goals and win games.
"I don't want to be at the bottom of the league and fighting relegation, which I have had a few times, so we will see how things go."Former Everton manager David Moyes says he is still not finished with management - and was made an early favourite to return to Goodison Park
