Everton Relieved Under Pressured Sean Dyche Of His Duty—-Relegation-threatened Everton have sacked manager Sean Dyche on Friday, hours before the Premier League club were due to play their FA Cup third-round tie against Peterborough at Goodison Park.

Everton are 16th in the standings after 19 games, a point above the drop zone. They have not won a game since beating Wolverhampton Wanderers in early December, a winless run of five matches.

With Dyche’s backroom staff also leaving, Everton said Under-18s head coach Leighton Baines and club captain Seamus Coleman would take charge of the first team on an interim basis.

“Everton Football Club can confirm that Sean Dyche has been relieved of his duties as senior men’s first team manager with immediate effect,” the club said in a statement.

“Ian Woan, Steve Stone, Mark Howard and Billy Mercer have also left the club. The process to appoint a new Manager is underway and an update will be provided in due course.”

Everton were taken over by new owners, the Friedkin Group, in December and Dyche had said that he had their support before their form nosedived.

He was also unperturbed by reports of the owners looking for a new manager this week, saying succession planning should be a part of their due diligence. His last game in charge was Saturday’s 1-0 loss at Bournemouth.

Dyche is the sixth Premier League manager to get the sack this season and the second in as many days after West Ham United replaced Julen Lopetegui with Graham Potter.

The 53-year-old joined Everton in January 2023, replacing Frank Lampard when they were in the relegation zone. A nervy 1-0 win on the final day of the season preserved their place in the top flight.

The English manager also ensured they stayed in the Premier League last year despite two points deductions for breaching the league’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules which took away eight points, with Everton finishing 15th.

However, the current campaign got off to a dismal start with Everton losing their first four league games.

A five-match unbeaten run gave the club’s fans hope of turning things around, but they have won only three Premier League games this season and one of their last 11 fixtures as the owners ran out of patience.

Arsenal Close Gap On League Leader Liverpool Following Hard Fought Victory Against Spurs

Arsenal Close Gap On League Leader Liverpool Following Hard Fought Victory Against Spurs—-Arteta men claimed a vital 2-1 win against Tottenham this evening, closing the gap on the Premier League leader Liverpool who drew to in-form Nottingham Forest.

The Gunners capitalised on Liverpool’s dropped points the night before, delivering a determined performance in front of a raucous Emirates crowd.

From the first whistle, Arsenal’s intent was clear. Leandro Trossard forced an early block from Spurs’ defence as the Gunners dominated possession and pinned their rivals back. Despite Arsenal’s control, Spurs managed to carve out a threat on the counter, with Dejan Kulusevski forcing a superb save from David Raya.

Tottenham silenced the Emirates temporarily when they opened the scoring against the run of play from a corner, showcasing their resilience despite being on the back foot for much of the first half.

Undeterred, Arsenal resumed their dominance after the break. Their persistence was rewarded when Dominic Solanke turned a dangerous Arsenal corner into his own net, levelling the scores. Just four minutes later, Trossard electrified the crowd with a stunning strike, completing the Gunners’ comeback.

Kai Havertz had a golden opportunity to extend Arsenal’s lead but sent his header wide. Meanwhile, Spurs pushed for an equaliser, with Ange Postecoglou introducing changes to inject life into his side. However, the visitors struggled to create clear-cut chances against a disciplined Arsenal defence.

Pedro Porro came closest to rescuing a point for Spurs when his effort struck the post, but the Gunners held firm to secure yet another memorable derby victory.

The result further solidifies Arsenal’s position in the title race and serves as a timely confidence boost after recent setbacks. For Spurs, the loss adds to a season of inconsistency, leaving them with much to ponder.
