Everton has confirmed the appointment of Sean Dyche as their new manager on a deal that will see him at Goodison Park until 2025.
The 51-year-old takes over from former manager Frank Lampard, who was dismissed following their 2-0 defeat to relegation rivals West Ham last week.
Dyche, who was sacked from Burnley last season, will be looking to guide the Toffees to safety after their disappointing start to the season, securing only 15 points from their 20 games so far.
The new Everton boss said: “It’s an honour to become Everton manager. My staff and I are ready and eager to help get this great club back on track.
“I know about Everton’s passionate fanbase and how precious this club is to them. We’re ready to work and ready to give them what they want. That starts with sweat on the shirt, effort and getting back to some of the basic principles of what Everton Football Club has stood for for a long time.”
Dyche’s first game in the hot seat takes place this Saturday as they host top of the table Arsenal in the Premier League. Kick-off 12:30 PM.
