Thomas Frank has shared his admiration for Sean Dyche.

Speaking in Brentford’s pre-match press conference, the Bees boss admitted that he’s ‘convinced’ that Everton will turn things around under Dyche.

Frank has become known as one of the Premier League’s best managers after helping Brentford win promotion before helping them challenge for European football in only their second season in the top flight.

Many pundits have tipped Brentford to claim a comfortable win over the Toffees this weekend, with the visitors only picking up one single point in their opening five games.

However, Frank has suggested that their match won’t be as easy as others think and has heaped praise on his Everton counterpart.

“Sean Dyche is very experienced,” Dyche said. He’s a very good manager and I like him as a person.

“He’s not shaken, he believes in what he’s doing. I am convinced that he’ll find a way. Looking at performances, it looks like they are still in a fine place.”

Will Sean Dyche get his chance at Everton?

Sean Dyche has come under increasing pressure this month, with the club sit in 18th place in the Premier League.

However, the Toffees would have to cough up £4m to sack Dyche and could instead keep hold of him until at least the takeover is completed.

This means the former Burnley manager could now be given the opportunity to improve results, like Frank has claimed.

Everton will travel to the Brentford Community Stadium on Saturday evening, before taking on Luton Town and Bournemouth. Their upcoming matches could already be six-pointers, while fans will be praying they can pick up some form before October’s Merseyside derby.
