Everton Axe Dyche: David Moyes Emerges as Strong Favorite for Managerial Return

Everton have parted ways with manager Sean Dyche, making him the second Premier League manager to be sacked in just 24 hours. The 53-year-old's dismissal came just before the Toffees' third-round FA Cup tie against Peterborough, with new owners, The Friedkin Group, taking the decision.

Dyche's tenure at Everton has been challenging, with the team struggling in the 2024-25 season, winning only three games and sitting just one point above the relegation zone. His two previous seasons also saw the club finish 17th and 15th, respectively.

With Dyche’s departure, speculation about his replacement is already heating up. David Moyes, a former Everton manager, is the overwhelming favorite to return to Goodison Park, priced at 1/5 by Sky Bet. Moyes enjoyed a highly successful stint with Everton from 2002-2013, leading the club to the Champions League qualifying rounds in 2005 and an FA Cup final in 2009.

Moyes’ prospects have been bolstered by West Ham's struggles since his departure, with the Hammers now sitting 14th in the Premier League. Moyes had a solid record at West Ham, including a Europa Conference League title and consistent top-half finishes.

Another contender for the role is Jose Mourinho, priced at 6/1. The 61-year-old, who is keen on a Premier League return, has had a strained relationship with Everton’s owners after being sacked by Roma last year. If personal differences are resolved, Mourinho could become a dramatic choice for Everton’s future.

Other names in the mix include Lee Carsley, Paulo Fonseca, and Gareth Southgate, priced at 10/1, 14/1, and 20/1, respectively. The managerial race at Goodison Park is heating up, and Everton fans are eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

Sky Bet Favorites for the Next Everton Manager:

David Moyes 1/5
Jose Mourinho 6/1
Lee Carsley 10/1
Paulo Fonseca 14/1
Gareth Southgate 20/1
