Sean Dyche Handed Biggest Job Yet With Everton

Having previously managed Watford and Burnley, Sean Dyche has landed his biggest job in the English Premier League after being named the new Everton boss.

Tasked with getting the Toffees away from the relegation zone and back challenging for European places, the 51-year-old English tactician has plenty of work to do to turn the club’s fortunes around on Merseyside.

There was plenty of excitement surrounding Dyche’s predecessor in Frank Lampard last year after the job he had done at Chelsea. Everton, who are 7/5 to avoid relegation from the Premier League in the betting UK odds, clearly admired how Lampard coped without being able to bring in transfers at Chelsea and how he worked with the club’s rising stars. Everton were hoping this season they would be earning backing in the sports betting tips to be higher up the table but at the halfway stage of the season, they find themselves in another relegation battle.

January saw the end of Lampard’s reign at Goodison Park and it was not long before former Burnley boss Dyche was brought in to try and steady the ship. With Everton in the bottom three in the Premier League standings on the day of his appointment, Dyche will have known the scale of the challenge ahead of him.

This season Goodison Park has been a venue that has been far too easy for opposition teams to go to and get points. Everton only managed two wins from their first 10 games of this Premier League campaign. Last season was a different story, as it was Everton’s home form that managed to get them out of trouble at the business end of the campaign to avoid the drop down to the Championship. Securing nine home wins at Goodison in the league, that was the same Lampard’s former club Chelsea managed on their way to finishing third in the table.

In the current campaign, the supporters’ anxiety of another relegation scrap transmitted to the players and in the end the poor run of results cost Lampard his job. Dyche is no stranger to the stresses of a Premier League relegation dogfight and he will be looking to use his previous experience to good use. Already in the first few days of Dyche’s tenure he’s looked to work on improving the players' fitness. The new manager will be looking for his side to produce a high-energy game with tackles and a big effort to get the crowd back on side. It would only take a few positive results to help Everton climb up the table and perhaps get the more reluctant supporters on the new manager's side.
