Sean Dyche returns to the Premier League with Everton

Former Burnley boss takes charge at Goodison Park after Lampard's departure

Everton have sacked Frank Lampard as manager and appointed Sean Dyche as his replacement.

The Toffees are 19th in the Premier League table, two points from safety, after winning just three of their 20 league matches this season.

Lampard was appointed as Everton manager in January 2022, but he has been unable to turn the club's fortunes around.

Dyche has been out of work since leaving Burnley in April 2022.

The 51-year-old led Burnley to two promotions to the Premier League and established them as a top-flight club.

Dyche's first game in charge of Everton will be at home to Arsenal on Saturday.
