Everton’s leadership is reportedly considering reappointing David Moyes amid speculation that Sean Dyche could be dismissed. Dyche, who took over as Everton manager in January 2023, successfully kept the team in the Premier League by finishing 17th that season, just two points above the relegation zone. Last season, Dyche’s squad finished 15th with 40 points.
Despite Dyche’s efforts to stabilize the team amid ongoing issues at Goodison Park, his tenure may be nearing its end. Everton has had a disappointing start to the current season, sitting at the bottom of the table after losing all three of their opening matches.
Dyche had hoped to secure points before the international break, especially after Everton went 2-0 up against Bournemouth. However, they ended up losing 3-2 after Bournemouth scored three late goals.
Dyche’s position is becoming increasingly precarious, with some suggesting he is on the verge of being fired. Football Insider reports that Dyche will be dismissed if results do not improve between the current international break (September 10) and the next one (October 7).
While Everton had previously been linked with a high-profile move for Thomas Tuchel, it now seems unlikely he would join. Instead, Everton officials are reportedly considering bringing Moyes back. Although they appreciate Dyche’s role in keeping the team in the Premier League, they are interested in reuniting with Moyes, who is currently a free agent after leaving West Ham United.
Moyes previously managed Everton from March 2002 to June 2013, during which he established the team as a consistent top-seven side and led them to both the Champions League and Europa League, as well as the 2009 FA Cup final. While Moyes’ recent managerial stints at Manchester United, Real Sociedad, and Sunderland were less successful, he had a strong second spell at West Ham, culminating in their victory in the 2023 Europa Conference League. His return to Everton could potentially reinvigorate the club, though it’s uncertain if he can recapture his previous success.
