Everton confirm appointment of Dyche

Everton have announced the appointment of Sean Dyche as manager.

The 51-year-old, who left his post with Burnley in April 2022, has agreed a two-and-a-half-year contract at Goodison Park.

"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," Dyche told the club's official website.

"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 enjoyed a successful nine-and-a-half-year spell at Burnley, whom he twice guided to promotion from the Championship.
