David Moyes on brink of Everton return as details of talks and specific conditions emerge

Everton have sacked Sean Dyche and are considering a shock move to bring back former manager David Moyes.

David Moyes is the frontrunner to take over from Sean Dyche at Everton. The Merseyside club are contemplating a reunion with their former boss after new owners, The Friedkin Group, decided to part ways with Dyche.

Negotiations are set to commence on Friday with sit-down formal talks with the former Toffees boss, who blossomed in reputation during his days at Goodison Park.

The decision to sack Dyche was officially announced just three hours and 11 minutes before Everton’s FA Cup third round clash against Peterborough, with further discussions planned with Moyes on Friday. It is understood Moyes is ready and willing to return as manager, on the condition that the agreement doesn’t simply run until the end of the current season.

Dyche, 53, had been informed earlier in the week that his position was precarious, culminating in decisive talks on Thursday afternoon.

The Toffees have managed only one victory in their last 11 games and sit precariously above the relegation zone following losses to Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth.

Despite overseeing training in the morning, Dyche’s fate had been sealed in the preceding days. He had engaged in talks with TFG, during which he suggested that he had taken the club as far as possible.

This prompted the US firm to start looking for a replacement and initiate compensation discussions with Dyche, believing he had effectively resigned. However, when Dyche reiterated his sentiments in a meeting on Thursday afternoon, the decision was made to relieve him of his duties ahead of the Peterborough match.

His coaching team, including Ian Woan, Steve Stone, Mark Howard and Billy Mercer, were also let go. It is understood that a compensation agreement has been reached.
