Sean Dyche has broken his silence in an official statement released today following his sacking from Everton last week.

The goalless draw with Chelsea was the first of TFG’s ownership and was watched by newly-installed Everton executive chairman Marc Watts. His regime was firm in its initial support of Dyche and the status quo while they began work on overhauling the club behind the scenes.

At the time, Everton was teetering above the relegation zone, positioned 16th in the Premier League. David Moyes then swiftly took the reins for his second spell at the club within 48 hours, signing a two-and-a-half-year deal to succeed Dyche, who originally managed at Goodison Park between 2002 and 2013.

Sean Dyche says it was the right time to leave Everton amid "one of its toughest periods in its history". Dyche was sacked less than four hours before the FA Cup tie with Peterborough last Thursday by the club's new owners, The Friedkin Group, with Everton 16th in the Premier League and only one point above the relegation zone.

Sean Dyche has been sacked as manager of Everton, the club confirmed on Thursday. Dyche took over from Frank Lampard in 2023. Although Dyche steered Everton from relegation in back-to-back seasons amid financial strife, a combination of poor form and an uninspiring style of football has seen the Merseyside outfit act.

Dyche was appointed as Everton manager on January 30, 2023, and led the club to Premier League survival. He did the same again in the 2023-24 season despite an unprecedented double points deduction after the Blues were found guilty of breaching Profit and Sustainability Rules.

Former Everton star Pat Nevin feels that Sean Dyche has been hugely undervalued for the work he carried out in the dugout. The Toffees sacked Dyche last week, as they were just one point above the relegation zone in the Premier League table after a run of poor results and worries about relegation surfaced.

It's been a whirlwind few days for Everton Football Club. So much so that it's not even been a week since the Toffees cut ties with former manager Sean Dyche, with David Moyes returning to the club to step into the breach.
