Sean Dyche is expected to be named as Everton\u2019s new manager, succeeding the sacked Frank Lampard.<\/p>\n

Dyche and former Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa were the two main contenders after holding talks with Everton\u2019s hierarchy.<\/p>\n

Bielsa was initially understood to be the favoured choice of owner Farhad Moshiri but the former Burnley boss is now in pole position.<\/p>\n

The Toffees want their new manager in place before the weekend.<\/p>\n

Bielsa, 67, expressed reservations about taking over in mid-season and whether the squad would fit his high-intensity and physically demanding style.<\/p>\n

There were also doubts over the expensive package his appointment would require.<\/p>\n

Talks did not bring any resolution, leaving Dyche as the front-runner, although it remains to be seen what agreement will be reached on length of contract, with the 51-year-old unlikely to simply want a short-term deal.<\/p>\n

Everton are next in action on 4 February, when they host Premier League leaders Arsenal at Goodison Park.<\/p>\n

Dyche also impressed Everton and the manager sacked by Burnley now looks certain to be given the task of rescuing their troubled season.<\/p>\n

Lampard was dismissed\u00a0with the Toffees lying 19th in the Premier League table with only 15 points from 20 games.<\/p>\n

In a decade at Burnley, Dyche guided the Clarets to two promotions from the Championship and two top-half Premier League finishes.<\/p>\n

Dyche also helped Burnley achieve their first European qualification in 51 years after leading them to seventh place in the top flight in 2017-18.<\/p>\n

Moshiri will be making his seventh managerial appointment since buying into the club in February 2016.<\/p>\n
