Jose Mourinho to Everton: Alan Myers shares new manager update
Jose Mourinho is unlikely to replace Sean Dyche as the new Everton manager if he is sacked, according to Alan Myers.
The Sky Sports journalist believes the chances of The Friedkin Group (TFG) appointing the Portuguese legend are slim after recently holding crunch talks on the future of Dyche [Sky Sports, 6 January].
With senior Everton officials holding talks with Graham Potter, who is now expected to take over at West Ham (Sky Sports), pressure is certainly on Dyche at Goodison Park.
When asked about the chances of the Fenerbahce boss coming to Merseyside, Myers wrote on his personal X account (7 January): “I’d say extremely thin, if at all.”
Jose Mourinho not the right fit as Everton manager
Mourinho is unarguably one of the greatest managers to grace football, but his time at the top of the game seems to be gone.
The Portuguese national had underwhelming stints at Manchester United and Tottenham before taking charge of Roma, who the Friedkins own.
If TFG wanted to get the 61-year-old, they seemingly have the contacts to do so, but it wouldn’t be a prudent move on their part.
Everton are in a relegation battle at the moment and need a calm head to lead them out of danger.
Mourinho isn’t that, and his antics could potentially worsen the situation if he made his way to the Goodison dugout.
Dyche has struggled to bring the best out of his squad this season, with the Toffees languishing just one point ahead of the drop zone.
While the former Burnley manager might be considered the perfect manager to retain the Blues’ Premier League status, supporters have had enough of him.
TFG will have a massive call to make regarding the next head coach if they do decide to relieve the 53-year-old of his duties.
