Everton has become the main disappointment in the English Premier League this season, which after 20 games is in 19th place, ahead of the last Southampton only in additional indicators. The bosses’ patience broke out only now, which is why they fired Frank Lampard. In a short time, the club had to find a successor, and it seems that it has been decided.
What were the options?
The media called for different options, and the craziest. For example, some sources assured that the management considered Davide Ancelotti, that is, the son of Carlo Ancelotti, who had previously directed Everton. But much more serious negotiations took place with Marcelo Bielsa, who had previously made Leeds a strong league team.

However, Bielsa did not change himself and traditionally made strange demands. He wanted to manage Everton’s youth team until the summer to better understand the structure of the club, and the first team at that time would be managed by his coaching staff. He sounds crazy, especially for a club that is in danger of falling out of the championship and looking for emergency options to save itself. Bielsa is good, but only for long-term projects, since his football concept requires many months, or perhaps years, for the team to start showing good results.
And who will be the new coach?
At the moment, it is not exactly known, but judging by numerous sources and comments, Sean Dyche will be introduced as Everton’s new head coach in the coming days. And this is the best option.
It was important for the Toffees to find a coach with rich experience in the Premier League, and Daichu definitely did not hold back on this. In total, he played 258 league games, 72 of which were victorious. Yes, the numbers are not impressive, but keep in mind that Dyche mainly managed modest and poor by England standards Burnley, who in 10 years went from mid-championship to a strong team in the first division, a time even finished seventh in the 2017/18 season. .

Unlike Bielsa, Dyche can become the person who can deliver results right away, because he is a great psychologist and motivator, but even he will have an incredibly difficult time in the early rounds after he is designated. Already on February 4, Everton will receive the pointer Arsenal, and on February 13 they will visit Liverpool.
Everton last won in October 2022, the club’s management is in chaos and confusion, several key players may leave in the coming days, and the club has no money for newcomers due to major financial problems, so Daichu will definitely does not envy On the other hand, he now has only one goal: to keep Everton in the top flight, which is actually not that difficult to achieve. We need to move up to at least 17th place, which is now only 2 points behind. I believe that in 18 rounds Dyche can complete the task.
