Sean Dyche was sacked by The Friedkin Group as Everton manager after telling them he had taken the club as far as he could, according to Paul Joyce.

The 53-year-old departs the Toffees following a run of just one win in 11 games, while his side failed to score in eight of their last 10 outings

David Moyes is the frontrunner to return to Everton and replace Sean Dyche as manager, sources have told ESPN, with the 61-year-old the favoured candidate of the club's new owners to steer the team away from relegation danger.
