Everton face a big few weeks ahead of them as they remain in search of their first victory in the Premier League this season.
It has not been the start to the season which Sean Dyche will have been hoping for after what seemed a positive summer in the transfer market.
After five games in the league, Everton have only been able to put a single point on the board having allowed the lead to slip in their last three games.
Last weekend offered the Toffees with the perfect opportunity to seal their first victory of the campaign but they were unable to beat a struggling Leicester City.
The poor run of form has led to pressure mounting on Dyche from the Everton fans who are desperate to see an improvement.
Everton-linked manager is desperate to return to work
With the results failing to improve, there are already a number of names being linked with potentially succeeding Dyche.
The Friedkin Group are now closing in on their takeover of Everton and Dan Friedkin is believed to have identified Graham Potter as a potential option for Everton.
Another name on the radar is Maurizio Sarri with Everton believed to have opened talks with his agent about a return to England.
But it is Potter who has now spoken out about a potential return to management after leaving Chelsea last year.
“I’ve felt ready to return for a little while,” said Potter. “It still has to be the right thing, but I’m excited for it,” Potter told The Telegraph.
“I’m excited to hear what the opportunities are and I’ll take each one and judge it on its merits.
“It wasn’t so long ago that Eddie Howe left Bournemouth after they had been relegated, he took 18 months out and now he’s at Newcastle doing brilliant things. If you look at Unai Emery, how he was received after leaving Arsenal and look at what he’s doing now. This is the job, the challenge of football. I see it [Chelsea] as an unbelievable experience that I’ve had, it didn’t go as well as I’d have liked. I have to take responsibility for that, but I think I’m better for it and I’ll be a better coach, for sure.”
Sean Dyche needs to land a victory before the international break
There are now just two more games in the Premier League until the international break with Everton facing Crystal Palace and then Newcastle United.
They are by no means easy fixtures and the Toffees will have to work for a result if they are to take anything from either of these games.
However, there next game after the game against Newcastle is not until late October and the two-week break offers them the perfect opportunity to make a change.
Farhad Moshiri may have given Dyche his backing but if the results are not improving then it may be a case of nothing will change if nothing changes.
