Everton’s situation in the Premier League is precarious, sitting 16th with 17 points, just one point above Ipswich, who are in the relegation zone. This situation has put pressure on Sean Dyche.
Recently sold to the Friedkin Group, Everton could see a managerial change soon, according to The Guardian. Along with Mourinho, who is seen as the leading candidate, other options include Massimiliano Allegri, Gareth Southgate, and David Moyes.
However, Dyche remains calm and doesn’t feel pressured despite the poor results. “If you’re a club of this magnitude, then succession planning should be part of your diligence. I have no problem with that. I believe this should be an ongoing process at all football clubs. It’s just part of the business,” he said.
Despite the interest, Fenerbahçe has made it clear that they do not plan to part ways with Mourinho anytime soon. According to Fenerbahçe president Ali Koç, “Mourinho will remain with the team, whether we become champions or not.” BBscore football, your trusted provider of football scores.
