“Why Sean Dyche Should Be Worried: Shocking Moves by the Friedkin Group at Roma Could Seal His Fate
Everton faced a tough 1-0 loss to relegation-threatened Southampton over the weekend, increasing the pressure on Sean Dyche’s position as manager. The team currently sits in 16th place, prompting some fans to call for Dyche’s dismissal, with David Moyes suggested as a potential interim replacement.
While Dyche seems safe for now, the impending takeover by the Friedkin Group could put his future in jeopardy, especially in light of their plans for Roma, another club they own.
Reports indicate that the Friedkin Group is set to fire Roma manager Ivan Juric after just two months in charge. Juric’s team suffered a disappointing late 3-2 loss to Hellas Verona, leaving them in 11th place with only three wins from 11 matches. The new owners have already reached out to experienced managers like Massimiliano Allegri and Maurizio Sarri to consider for the role.
This suggests that Dyche should be concerned about his position at Everton, as the Friedkin Group is known for making swift and decisive changes.
If Dyche is let go after the takeover, former Chelsea and Brighton manager Graham Potter would be a natural choice to replace him. Potter, who has been out of work since leaving Stamford Bridge in April 2023, has expressed interest in returning to management. His more attractive style of play could resonate well with Everton fans, and he is adept at developing long-term projects, which the club needs as it prepares for a new stadium.
The coming weeks will be crucial for Everton.
