Dyche Appointed As New Everton Manager
Former Burnley Boss Takes Over At Goodison Park
Everton have appointed Sean Dyche as their new manager on a two-and-a-half-year contract. The 51-year-old replaces Frank Lampard, who was sacked on Monday after a run of poor results. Dyche has been out of work since leaving Burnley in April 2022, and he will now be tasked with keeping Everton in the Premier League.
Dyche's Record At Burnley
Dyche spent nearly 10 years at Burnley, leading the club from the Championship to the Premier League in 2016. He kept Burnley in the top flight for six seasons, establishing the club as a solid mid-table outfit. Dyche's Burnley were known for their strong defense and set-piece prowess, and he will be hoping to instill those qualities into Everton.
Everton's Struggles
Everton have endured a difficult season so far, winning just three of their first 20 Premier League games. They are currently 19th in the table, two points from safety. Lampard was sacked after a 2-0 defeat to West Ham United on Saturday, and Dyche will now be tasked with turning things around.
Dyche's Task
Dyche's first task will be to improve Everton's defense. The Toffees have conceded 39 goals in the Premier League this season, more than any other team. He will also need to find a way to get more goals from his attack, as Everton have scored just 17 goals in their 20 league games.
Key Players For Dyche
Dyche will have a number of key players at his disposal, including England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, defender Conor Coady, and midfielder Idrissa Gueye. He will also be hoping to get more out of forwards Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Neal Maupay.
Conclusion
The appointment of Dyche is a significant one for Everton. He is a proven Premier League manager with a track record of success. He will be hoping to use his experience to help Everton avoid relegation and build a successful team in the years to come.
