Everton is under new management and the owners have identified Gareth Southgate as the man to replace Sean Dyche

Former England manager Gareth Southgate looking to make a return to football management, with Everton emerging as a potential destination.

Southgate stepped down from his role with the national team after a commendable run, leading the squad to the Euro 2024 final and proving his reputation as a tactical mastermind.

In the months following his departure, Southgate has been seen at various matches as a UEFA technical observer, keeping his finger on the pulse of the game. However, the recent news of the Friedkin Group's takeover of Everton has sparked speculation about his next move.

Express.uk suggest that the new ownership may consider Southgate as a viable replacement for current manager Sean Dyche, should Dyche's position come under scrutiny.

Despite the recent challenges faced by Everton, including their precarious position in the relegation zone, Southgate's extensive experience in high-pressure situations could provide the club with the fresh perspective it needs.

There’s a belief among key figures at the club that Southgate could revitalize a struggling squad, especially with the team’s difficult fixtures easing after December.

Southgate's history of fostering young talent and building cohesive units aligns with Everton's long-term goals. His previous club management experience, albeit over a decade ago with Middlesbrough, combined with his international success, positions him as an attractive candidate.

While Dyche’s tenure is currently under review, insiders indicate that any decision may hinge on immediate results. The new owners seem open to evaluating the situation further, especially as they assess how to stabilize the club and set a new strategic direction.
