Everton sacks Sean Dyche with immediate effect

The decision to sack Sean Dyche was announced on the official website of the club on Thursday, January 9, 2025. Everton announced their under-18s head coach Leighton Baines and club captain Seamus Coleman had been put in charge of the team pending when a new manager will be announced.

Dyche’s last game in charge of Everton was the 1-0 defeat against Bournemouth on Saturday, January 4, 2025, having failed to register a shot on target. The result saw them sit 16th in the Premier League and just one point clear of the relegation zone.
