Folks, today I have to share with you the juicy scoop about the Everton managerial position, which is more dramatic than a TV series!
Can you believe it? Mourinho has become the hot favorite to replace Sean Dyche as Everton's manager! Keep in mind that Everton's owner previously fired Mourinho, so this "plot twist" is truly jaw-dropping! The prediction companies are all betting on Mourinho taking over from Dyche, and this matter is becoming increasingly intriguing.
It's said that Everton's new owners, the Friedkin Group, are ready to say goodbye to Dyche as early as next week. The "Special One" Mourinho is highly likely to head to Merseyside to embark on a new coaching journey. Dyche himself also hinted before tonight's FA Cup third-round match against Peterborough United that if the new owners don't consider changing managers, it would be a dereliction of duty.
These new American owners are indeed working diligently. What's even more interesting is that former manager David Moyes is rumored to plan a return next summer and bring the team to their new home at Bramley-Moore Dock. This series of moves is truly unpredictable.
If Mourinho really takes over Everton, it would be big news. After all, just a year ago, billionaire boss Dan Friedkin of the Friedkin Group (also owner of Roma) had just fired him. This Portuguese man has had his fair share of challenges, having been sacked at Chelsea, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Inter Milan. He even mentioned that being fired by Friedkin was the most heartbreaking for him. Last summer, he went to Fenerbahce but clashed with Turkish authorities over the operating methods of the Turkish Super League. Despite this, the 61-year-old Mourinho still harbors a strong desire to return to the Premier League and longs to step onto the familiar field once again. Looking at Dyche now, who has been coaching the team for nearly two years, fans are increasingly unimpressed with his football style, and he probably realizes that his time at Everton is coming to an end.
Everton's current record is nothing to write home about, with only 3 wins in 19 Premier League matches, barely one point above the relegation zone. Everton will face a crucial match against Burnley next, and if they lose, Dyche's departure might not be far off. Dyche himself is quite calm about it, saying that new owners finding replacements is normal, after all, the club's scale is there, and succession planning is part of due diligence.
So, if Mourinho really becomes Everton's manager, what changes will he bring to the team? Will he recreate his glory from other teams, or will he face new challenges? If David Moyes returns, what sparks will he create with Mourinho? This series of unknowns is truly exciting. Fellow football fans, do you think Mourinho can save Everton?
