Official: Everton appoint Sean Dyche as manager

Everton have confirmed the appointment of Sean Dyche as head coach. The former Burnley boss has signed a contract until 2025.

The Merseyside club are currently 19th in the Premire league table, two points away from safety. They are on 15 points after 20 games.

“I was a Seventies kid so I supported Liverpool,” Dyche said in 2022 in an interview with LadBible.

“My local team Kettering, Kettering Town, me and my dad used to go down and watch them, they were pretty big in the non-league scene but [I supported] Liverpool from a distance.”

“Got to be King Kenny [Dalglish],” he said when asked who was his favourite Liverpool player.

“Met him in the most bizarre circumstances because I’m obviously a man and he treats you like a man in football, in my brain I’m going, ‘you’re King Kenny’, and he’s just chatting to me going, ‘oh alright, Burnley are going alright’, and I’m still going ‘you’re King Kenny’, in my head.”
