Everton Football Club has parted ways with head coach Sean Dyche after nearly two years in charge. The 53-year-old’s dismissal comes just ahead of their FA Cup third-round clash with League One team Peterborough.
The club announced that Leighton Baines, the Under-18s coach, and team captain Seamus Coleman will take over first-team duties on an interim basis.
Alongside Dyche, four of his coaching staff members—Ian Woan, Steve Stone, Mark Howard, and Billy Mercer—have also been relieved of their roles.
In an official statement, Everton said:
“Everton Football Club can confirm that Sean Dyche has been relieved of his duties as Senior Men’s First Team Manager with immediate effect.
The process to appoint a new manager is underway, and updates will follow shortly.”
The decision follows a series of disappointing results in the Premier League, with the team sitting precariously at 16th place, just one point above the relegation zone.
The Toffees have managed only three wins out of 19 league games this season and suffered a 1-0 loss to Bournemouth last weekend without registering a single shot on target.
The search for a new manager is already underway as the club battles to climb out of the relegation zone. Fans and analysts are eager to see who will take the reins to navigate this challenging period.
