Everton have hired Sean Dyche as their next manager to replace the departed Frank Lampard
Frank Lampard was relieved of his duties earlier in the week and Everton have spent the past few days speaking with a number of candidates, including former Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa.
Everton set to appoint Dyche
Bielsa was interested in the Everton job and he flew from South America to England for a further round of talks over the position earlier this week, but sources have now confirmed that the Toffees have decided to opt for Dyche.
)
While Bielsa was intrigued by the idea of taking over another fallen giant like Everton, he had concerns over the club's project and, after a further round of negotiations, has now been ruled out of the race.
Big picture for Dyche and Everton
Dyche has been out of work since leaving Burnley in April, with the Clarets ending his ten-year spell at the club in a desperate attempt to avoid relegation which ultimately came up short.
)
He is expected to be appointed imminently and will then have a week to work with his new side ahead of his first match in charge, a visit from Premier League leaders Arsenal on Saturday 4 February.
