Everton’s managerial search is now ongoing, with The Friedkin Group making the long-awaited decision on Thursday.

Sean Dyche is out, and a new manager is needed at Everton ahead of their upcoming Premier League game next Wednesday.

The Friedkin Group are already assessing managerial options as they aim to make a quick appointment.

Although Everton were able to pick up their first victory of the year on Thursday evening, the Toffees will not be wanting to see their managerial search drag on.

Sources out of Goodison Park are now suggesting The Friedkin Group have something very particular on their wishlist when searching for their new manager.

The Friedkins want out of work manager for Everton

As the Toffees eye their next boss, Everton are close to appointing David Moyes as their replacement for Dyche.

Speaking on Sky Sports, reporter Michael Bridge has shared what one source from Merseyside has told him about their managerial hunt.

“I was told by a good source around Everton that they will look for a manager out of work,” he said.

“David Moyes did an excellent job at West Ham. I don’t think many would say anything negative after he delivered the Europa Conference League trophy.

“I get that he might want another crack at Europe but the heart and head might come together for this one.”

The Friedkins have already met with Moyes, but the former Everton boss could now return only until the end of the season.

Dyche was only contracted until the end of the term and it seems as if the Toffees are not looking to tie into a long-term agreement.

Everton’s Sean Dyche statement spoke volumes

The Friedkins met with Dyche earlier in the week, where their initial support was provided despite their defeat on the weekend.

However, that has not proven to pan out for the 53-year-old with Dyche now out of the job.

What was interesting about Everton’s statement on sacking Dyche was the lack of gratitude shown in the press release.

Just four paragraphs were written with no comments from the club or their hierarchy thanking Dyche for the past two years.

Times may not have been great under Dyche, but there was plenty of external factors hindering the club and the exit statement spoke volumes.
