Everton boss Sean Dyche knows he ‘has to win’ after vote of confidence from new owners
Friedkin Group has completed takeover of Premier League club, and new executive chairman Marc Watts has given Sean Dyche his backing
Everton manager Sean Dyche said he has the support of the club’s new owners, but that he needs to deliver on the field to prove himself.
Friedkin Group completed the takeover of the Premier League club this week, in the middle of a season where the team has struggled on the pitch, sitting 16th in the table with only three wins in 15 matches.
“You’ve got to win games, that doesn’t change and I’m well aware of that,” Dyche told reporters on Friday.
“They mentioned that during this period of buying the club they’ve done a lot of homework and they understand the challenges that I’ve been through and we have collectively been through.”
Dyche said Everton’s new executive chairman, Marc Watts, had expressed his support for the manager, who led the club through a tumultuous 2023-24 campaign where they fought to avoid relegation after being docked eight points for breaching the league’s financial rules.
“He said, ‘we’ve got no reason to question you. Every reason to support what you’ve been doing and hopefully support it further going forwards’,” Dyche said.
