In a decade at Burnley, Dyche guided the Clarets to two promotions from the Championship and two top-half Premier League finishes. [Everton](/sport/football/teams/everton) [Talks did not bring any resolution](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64416720), leaving Dyche as the front-runner, although it remains to be seen what agreement will be reached on length of contract, with the 51-year-old unlikely to simply want a short-term deal.
Sean Dyche is poised to be named Everton's manager after Marcelo Bielsa told the club he was not willing to take full charge until the summer.
He would take over a team that have lost 11 of their past 14 matches in all competitions and lie joint-bottom of the Premier League. That would have left Everton needing an interim manager for the precarious task of keeping them in the Premier League and was not a situation the club was willing to accept. That raised their hopes of enticing the Argentinian to Goodison Park, despite his reservations over the state of the club and the squad and his record of never taking over a European club mid-season.

Thirty-five points will be able to secure safety given how the Premier League table is at the minute. "He did a really good job at Burnley and it was only towards the end that it started to change. But Dyche has been able to turn his hands in a different way at Burnley. "They need a simplicity to how they play. We also knew he wanted a bit more pace in the side. He's got to get a tune out of the players. The one thing with Dyche's teams is that first and foremost they're hard to beat. "The key fact will be the ability to work with this group of players and how he can get his message across. He will also have a week or so to build up to his first game against Arsenal on February 4 at Goodison Park." "I hope Sean can really get into these players because some of them need a kick up their behinds. On the other hand, it was felt Dyche could hit the ground running. One of them is defender Michael Keane, who spent three seasons working under Dyche at Burnley between 2014 and 2017.
Arsenal take on Everton next weekend in the Premier League and the Toffees will have a new head coach following Frank Lampard's dismissal.
Arteta was Arsenal manager that day and the Spaniard has made it no secret of his admiration for Dyche in the past. I wish him the best of luck and as always with colleagues, it’s sad when you see those decisions.” According to Sky Sports, Dyche is expected to be appointed today and his first game will then, of course, be against Arsenal on Saturday week, hoping he can hand the north Londoners their first league defeat since September, when Manchester United recorded a 3-1 victory. Former Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa had been mooted as a potential target, although it is ex-Burnley head coach Sean Dyche that seems the most likely candidate to take charge of the Merseyside club.

Sean Dyche is all set to be appointed as Everton's new manager after Marcelo Bielsa turned down the chance to take over at Goodison Park.
It's going to be a tough assignment in what is likely to be Dyche's first game in charge of Everton, with Premier League leaders Arsenal due to visit Goodison Park on February 4. The 51-year-old has, however, carved out a reputation as a motivator and leader, and a string of positive results that ultimately moves the club away from the threat of relegation will be a welcome relief to the supporters. He will hope to draw on his previous experiences of battling against the drop to steer Everton away from the relegation zone, with the Toffees currently in a precarious position in 19th place.
