Report: Top-Rated Manager Informs Everton to Wait for His Appointment
Sunday's Defeat to Nottingham Forest Intensifies Doubts Over Sean Dyche's Future at Everton
Everton’s hopes of ending the year on a high were dashed with an underwhelming 2-0 defeat, bringing their recent run of solid form to an abrupt halt.
Following the club’s takeover by The Friedkin Group, manager Sean Dyche received their backing during a meeting.
However, the weekend loss has edged Everton closer to the relegation zone, with Ipswich Town gaining three crucial points.
Amid growing concerns, speculation has arisen about The Friedkin Group considering potential replacements for Dyche.
One name on their radar is former Juventus manager Max Allegri.
However, Allegri has reportedly informed all interested parties, including Everton and West Ham, that he will not be taking any managerial roles until the summer.
Dyche’s position remains under scrutiny, despite the group’s support for Kevin Thelwell ahead of the January transfer window.
According to TeamTalk, the 53-year-old Dyche is seen as a competent manager, but Everton’s inability to pull away from relegation danger is keeping questions alive.
Concerns have also emerged about whether Dyche has lost the dressing room after his post-match comments placed the blame squarely on the players.
Hiring Allegri, a six-time Serie A champion with Juventus, would signal a significant move for Everton.
Although he lacks European trophies, Allegri’s reputation as one of the world’s best managers precedes him.
Comparisons have already been drawn to Carlo Ancelotti, whose brief but impactful tenure remains well-regarded by Everton fans.
Oscar Damiani, a former Juventus player, previously praised Allegri, stating, “He has personality and manages to handle situations calmly.
The problems that have happened do not depend on him. As a coach, he is among the best,” in an interview with Calciomercato.
For Everton, appointing a manager of Allegri’s calibre could reignite optimism on Merseyside.
While Dyche’s future hangs in the balance, the Friedkins appear poised to make a calculated decision, even if it means waiting for Allegri until summer.
