Following the resignation of Frank Lampard, Everton has named Sean Dyche as their new manager, the team said on Monday.

Everton was two points from safety and 19th in the Premier League following a streak of 10 games without a victory that led to Lampard's dismissal last week.

Dyche is charged with guiding Everton out from the relegation zone under a two and a half year deal that runs until June 2025 at Goodison Park.

“It’s an honour to become Everton manager. My staff and I are ready and eager to help get this great club back on track,” Dyche said.

“I know about Everton’s passionate fanbase and how precious this club is to them. We’re ready to work and ready to give them what they want. That starts with sweat on the shirt, effort and getting back to some of the basic principles of what Everton Football Club has stood for a long time.”
