Everton are set for big change in the coming months. The new owners are determined to build a team that can compete with Liverpool, but first, they need to get the fundamentals right, starting with hiring a manager who can reset the club.
There is a temptation to retain Sean Dyche, who, by all accounts, is one of the best when it comes to surviving relegation, so the club faces a crucial decision.
According to The Mirror, Maurizio Sarri, a renowned veteran manager, is a target for the Friedkin Group, whose takeover of Everton was agreed on Monday. Sarri believes he has unfinished business in the Premier League after leaving Chelsea, despite winning the Europa League and finishing third in the Premier League. Chelsea, at present, would love a third-place finish, especially after spending heavily on some exciting players.
Chelsea, at that time, wanted instant success. They were looking for a manager who could deliver immediate results, but Sarri aimed to implement an expansive style of football that could form the foundation for long-term success—something the club’s hierarchy didn’t fully appreciate.
Reports from Italy suggest Sarri is interested in the Everton job. Although 3 Added Minutes sources have said that the new owners are willing to give Dyche time, hiring Sarri could be one of their first significant decisions, and a good one, given his long-term planning ability.
