Everton set to announce Sean Dyche as manager

It appears that Sean Dyche is set to be named as the new manager of Everton, succeeding the sacked Frank Lampard. 

Dyche and former Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa were the two main contenders for the role, and both have held talks with Everton's hierarchy in recent days.

Initially, it was understood that Bielsa was the favored choice of owner Farhad Moshiri.

But it appears that the former Burnley boss is now in pole position to take over at Goodison Park. 

The Toffees are keen to have their new manager in place before the weekend, and it seems that Dyche will be the man to take the reins.

Dyche is known for his no-nonsense approach and his ability to get the best out of his players. 

He led Burnley to two promotions to the Premier League and kept them in the top flight for several seasons. 

Everton fans will be hoping that he can bring the same level of success to their club.

This is a significant appointment for Everton as they look to climb the table and challenge for a place in Europe. 

The club has struggled in recent seasons and will be hoping that Dyche can turn things around. 

With the talent already present at the club, it's an exciting time for the Toffees and their fans.

It's not yet known when the official announcement will be made, but it's clear that Everton are close to naming their new manager. 

Stay tuned for further updates.
