Giggs: I’d love job at Goodison

SEAN DYCHE is the overwhelming favourite to be Everton manager after Ronald Koeman was sacked yesterday. After overseeing a disastrous run of two wins in 13 matches, Koeman was told in person by chairman Bill Kenwright that his 16-month reign at Goodison was over. The Dutchman had spent £140million on nine players in the summer. The final straw was Sunday’s 5-2 drubbing by Arsenal that dropped Everton into the relegation zone, with the board acting yesterday morning. David Unsworth, an Everton stalwart and current Under-23 manager, will take charge for tomorrow’s trip to Chelsea in the Carabao Cup and the Premier League game at Leicester on Sunday. Unsworth, who will be assisted by John Ebbrell, was desperate for the job when Roberto Martinez left in 2016 and wants to give Everton’s board something to consider. It is Dyche, though, who heads the bookmakers’ lists. He has worked wonders to establish Burnley in the Premier League on a shoestring and left a lasting impression at Goodison earlier this month after his side won 1-0. Dyche, 46, was interested in moving to Crystal Palace earlier this year and he would have much to think about again if Everton’s hierarchy make an approach to Burnley.

Carlo Ancelotti is keen to work in the Premier League, having left Bayern Munich earlier this month.

Phil Neville, the former Everton captain, is understood to be eager to be considered while Ryan Giggs has already gone on record and expressed his interest in the position.

Manchester United legend Giggs told Sky Sports: ‘I think you look at those two teams, Leicester being champions two seasons ago, Everton being a fantastic club with a fantastic history, for me these are clubs I would be interested in.

‘However, there are a lot of coaches out there who would be interested in those positions.’
