Everton fans face a wait for the club to announce Sean Dyche as new manager.

The 51-year-old spent almost a decade in charge at Burnley, steering the Clarets to two promotions and their first qualification to European competition since 1966/67 on the back of a seventh place finish in the Premier League in 2017/18 – their highest placing since coming sixth in 1973/74.

The Liverpool Echo says Dyche is set to do his internal media duties at Everton today with a view for an official announcement after that which could be on Sunday or even Monday.

In a similar manner to predecessor Frank Lampard who was working on transfer targets before his appointment was confirmed on deadline day last year (January 31), Dyche will have to get to work straight away on deals with director of football Kevin Thelwell before the window closes on Tuesday with Anthony Gordon's imminent sale to Newcastle United potentially generating additional funds.
