Seamus Coleman and Leighton Baines to manage Everton on interim basis after club sack Sean Dyche

The Toffees have won just one of their last 11 Premier League matches under Dyche.

SEAMUS COLEMAN WILL take charge of Everton alongside club legend Leighton Baines in their FA Cup tie this evening, after Sean Dyche was sacked as the club’s manager today.

The Toffees have won just one of their last 11 Premier League matches under Dyche.

Everton confirmed that under-18s head coach Baines and club captain Coleman would take charge of first-team affairs on an interim basis, starting with tonight’s FA Cup tie against Peterborough at Goodison Park.

The club’s new owners, the Friedkin Group, will now begin the hunt for Dyche’s successor, with former Chelsea and Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho having already been linked with the position.

    Hopefully Coleman gets a taste for it. Would love to see him do well.

    A slightly misleading headline, I think: the Guardian has ‘Everton’s under-18s coach Leighton Baines will take charge of the FA Cup tie, assisted by the captain, Séamus Coleman.’

    Hopefully they give Jake O’Brien some minutes. Dyche treated him terribly.

    Terrible manager can only be good news for Everton let’s not forget a very big team in England with great history and plenty of titles should be punching far higher and nice new stadium for next season
