Everton Football Club on Thursday sacked their manager Sean Dyche on Thursday, ahead of their FA Cup third-round match against Peterborough.
The team currently sits precariously close to the bottom three, with only a single point separating them from the relegation positions, having secured only three victories in their initial 19 Premier League fixtures this season.
The club released an official statement announcing that Dyche "has been relieved of his duties as senior men's first-team manager with immediate effect" and confirmed they had begun searching for his replacement.
Following reports that Everton's new proprietors, the US-based Friedkin Group, had initiated discussions with potential replacements after acquiring the Liverpool-based club, rumours regarding Dyche's position had grown.
The Merseyside club has maintained its position in England's highest division since 1954, though recent seasons have seen them repeatedly battle against relegation.
Dyche, aged 53, becomes the sixth Premier League manager to depart this season, following Julen Lopetegui's dismissal from West Ham on Wednesday, with Graham Potter subsequently taking charge.
