The Toffees have appointed Under-18s coach Leighton Baines and club captain Seamus Coleman as interim managers.
Dyche was appointed Everton manager in January 2023 after the dismissal of Frank Lampard. In 84 games in charge, he recorded 26 wins, 26 draws, and 32 losses. Despite successfully keeping the club in the Premier League last season, Everton's recent performances have been far from convincing.
Currently sitting 16th in the Premier League, just one point above the relegation zone, Everton's attacking record has been particularly poor. The Toffees have only scored 15 goals in 19 matches, compared to 25 conceded. Their failure to register a single shot on target in their recent 0-1 defeat to Bournemouth proved to be the final straw for Dyche.
Dyche becomes the sixth Premier League manager to lose his job this season, following Erik ten Hag, Steve Cooper, Gary O'Neil, Russell Martin, and Julen Lopetegui.
According to ESPN, David Moyes is on the verge of returning to Everton after holding talks with the club's new owners. Moyes previously managed Everton from 2002 to 2013 before taking over at Manchester United.
In a curious twist, Everton secured a 2-0 victory over Peterborough just hours after Dyche's dismissal. However, the match was overshadowed by the potential of a historic moment involving Ashley Young and his son, Tyler. Had they both played, they would have become the first father-son duo to appear in a professional match in 44 years.
