New owners, new decisions. In any normal circumstances, the fact that the new management decided to take new direction and chose a coach of their liking is quite logical and acceptable thing. But when it comes to American owners, and the same ones who are known for changing coaches ‘like socks‘ in their other club, then this is not such a clever move. The Friedkin Group, who recently took over Everton, and are already owners of AS Roma decided that club debts and PRS rules are not the biggest problem, but the coach. And then, they decided to sack Sean Dyche just three hours before their FA Cup third-round tie against Peterborough United on Thursday night!2 – Across Sean Dyche’s final 10 games in charge of Everton, the only player to score more than once for them was Craig Dawson, who scored two own goals playing for Wolves in December. Nonsense. pic.twitter.com/SXOlR6k9Gi— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) January 9, 2025 New management didn‘t even bother to wish their now former manager luck and thank him for his efforts, but just informed the public that he is out.“Everton Football Club can confirm that Sean Dyche has been relieved of his duties as Senior Men’s First Team Manager with immediate effect. Ian Woan, Steve Stone, Mark Howard and Billy Mercer have also left the Club. The process to appoint a new manager is under way and an update will be provided in due course. Under-18s Head Coach Leighton Baines and Club Captain Seamus Coleman will take charge of first-team affairs on an interim basis“ reads the short statement.Riddle me this: What’s 2 out of 20? English managers in Premier LeagueThe Toffies have collected 17 points from 19 matches so far this season and are one point above relegation zone. Dyche was in the final few months of his Everton contract but the hierarchy have decided to end his tenure now. But the Irish coach was prepared for this after a 1-0 loss to Bournemouth at Goodison Park.“We need to win more games… I know the industry I am in. I have worn this badge with as much pride as I can and I will continue to do so. At the end of the day if you are a business of this size then succession planning should be part of your diligence“ he said. Former Everton coach David Moyes is already been named the biggest favorite to take the job.##NAJAVA_MECA_8617639##
