Ruud van Nistelrooy mooted for Everton job as new takeover verdict drops
Ruud van Nistelrooy is a possible option to replace Sean Dyche at Everton if needed, TEAMtalk have suggested.
The news outlet claims [14 November] that fans are getting increasingly frustrated with Dyche, who is under pressure at Goodison Park.
With The Friedkin Group set to take over from Farhad Moshiri, an “attack-minded” head coach like Van Nistelrooy could be an option for the Americans.
Ruud van Nistelrooy unproven to be Everton manager
Everton’s struggles are laid bare for everyone to see, with the team languishing in sixteenth in the Premier League table after the 0-0 draw against West Ham on 9 November.
Dyche has done an incredible job of avoiding the drop to the Championship when it felt like a real possibility, but the English manager has failed to bring stability to the club.
While it’s true that it’s not all his fault, with Moshiri taking a majority of the blame for how the Toffees have been run over the last few years, at the end of the day, the performances on the pitch are his responsibility.
The Goodison faithful would cherish having a progressive manager take over from Dyche, but in Van Nistelrooy’s case, his lack of experience is a cause for concern.
The Dutchman’s only other stint as first-team head coach apart from the caretaker position at Manchester United was with PSV Eindhoven.
After a year with the Red and Whites, the 48-year-old resigned, and the Blues would be taking a big gamble if they were to hire him, looking at the four games he took charge of at Manchester United before his exit.
