Everton’s future appears more optimistic following news of a takeover agreement that will see American billionaire Dan Friedkin take over majority control from Farhad Moshiri. However, concerns are growing regarding the future of current Everton manager Sean Dyche. Rumors have been swirling ever since reports suggested Dyche is on thin ice, with speculation intensifying about who might succeed him at Goodison Park.
One prominent rumor suggests a possible return for former manager David Moyes, while out-of-work Graham Potter is also being touted as a potential replacement. The most surprising name linked to the role is England manager Gareth Southgate, who is expected to step down from his national duties after this summer’s European Championship.
Report from GIVEMESPORT downplays the likelihood of Southgate stepping in at Everton. According to their sources, Southgate is more intrigued by the possibility of becoming Manchester United’s next manager, should Erik ten Hag’s position come under threat.
The report states: “Southgate remains intrigued by the possibility of being installed as ten Hag’s successor if the Dutch tactician is sacked by the Manchester United hierarchy, according to GMS sources, which is having an impact on the levels of interest he has in potentially replacing Sean Dyche at domestic rivals Everton.”
Although Everton are said to admire Southgate, the club’s primary managerial target reportedly prefers to wait for a potential opportunity at Old Trafford, making his appointment at Everton less likely for now.
