Everton may be a job that appeals to out-of-work manager Sean Dyche should the club relieve Frank Lampard from his duties, according to journalist Dean Jones.

Dyche has been out of work since being sacked from Burnley in April of this year before the Clarets were eventually relegated from the Premier League.

What’s the latest at Everton?

Despite conceding only 17 goals in the Premier League so far this season, Everton currently sit just one place and one position above the relegation zone, having suffered another tumultuous start to a campaign.

The club avoided the drop to the Championship by the skin of their teeth this season, but risk being dragged into another battle at the bottom of the league if their form doesn’t take an upturn after the league’s break for the World Cup.

The Toffees have won just one game in their last eight fixtures, including back-to-back defeats at Bournemouth in both the Carabao Cup and the league, and head coach Lampard is now under serious pressure to turn the tide back in the club’s favour.

And Jones suggests that there’s a possibility that the appointment of Dyche at Goodison Park could “settle things down a bit” for the Merseyside club.

What has Jones said about Everton?

Jones told GIVEMESPORT: “I think Sean Dyche would probably fancy his chances to have a job like that.

“He's going to be waiting and putting his name around for any job.

“At that level, you do wonder if he might be able to settle things down a bit and give them a clear identity.”

What could Dyche bring to Everton?

There’s no denying that Dyche has an impressive record at producing results against the odds, with his finest managerial achievement coming during the 2017/18 season when he helped Burnley secure a 7th-placed Premier League finish and secure Europa League football for the following campaign.

Despite suffering relegation with the Clarets in 2015, the 51-year-old immediately got them back into the top flight, before helping them stay in the division for the following six seasons, despite not possessing the transfer budget many of his fellow Premier League managers had at their disposal.

The former Watford manager, who has previously been dubbed a "miracle worker" by journalist Andy Jones, turned down the job at Goodison Park when the Merseyside club came calling in 2017 before the Toffees eventually settled on the appointment of Sam Allardyce.

However, with Dyche now out of work, it’s difficult to foresee a situation where he would refuse to take the Everton job if the club came calling for his signature for the second time soon.
