David Moyes will be hoping to take Everton to the promised land of European football for next season.
A European finish is still very much possible for Everton, but it will require the Blues to show some more consistency.
Following his success at West Ham United, Moyes will have the taste for European success, which he wants to translate to Merseyside.
Everton are being pushed to make European qualification, but there may be some fan who still question whether Moyes is the man to do that.
With just one win since the turn of the year, things have not exactly been going brilliantly for the Toffees.
Who do you have down as Everton’s greatest-ever manager? 👏
Let us know who and why! 🤩
However, there is one former Everton manager who is experiencing much worse issues at his current club as he now faces the sack.
Former Everton boss Sean Dyche faces Nottingham Forest sack
Everton fans welcomed Sean Dyche back to Merseyside in December as the Blues did the double over his Nottingham Forest side.
Things have not improved for the 54-year-old at the City Ground in the weeks since.
According to BBC Sport, Dyche is now facing the sack at Nottingham Forest following their latest Premier League defeat.
Does Sean Dyche get enough credit for his spell at Everton? 🤔
He worked under difficult financial circumstances 😫
Dyche only took on the job 109 days ago back on 21 October, 2025.
Forest lost in dismal fashion against Leeds United on Friday evening, which is believed to have ramped up the pressure on his position.
The Reds face Wolves during the week, but could find themselves just three points above the drop by the time that game kicks off.
Dyche wanted to sign Dwight McNeil for Forest over the winter window, which never came to fruition.
With results failing to improve, Evangelos Marinakis is now staring at his third managerial sacking of the season.

Nottingham Forest’s 2026 record is better than Everton’s
The New Year has not been kind to Everton as Moyes has slowly welcomed back some of his top players on Merseyside.
Supporters will be hoping Saturday’s game against Fulham is the turning point after only taking six points from their five league games in 2026.
Dyche may be under pressure at Forest, but his side have actually taken two more points in the league over the same period.
Tony Bellew has waxed lyrical about Dyche for saving Everton from relegation over recent years.
Whether the 54-year-old will be given the time to do the same at the City Ground is now looking less and less likely.
