Sean Dyche tells Gary Lineker who he can manage next after Everton sack
Sean Dyche has lofty aspirations for where he could see himself in his first post-Everton role.
The former Toffees boss never quite connected at Goodison Park, with fans not taking to his style of football or the results that they brought with them.
Dyche had to be replaced earlier this season due to the overwhelming threat of relegation, with David Moyes having steadied the ship since his sensational return.
Everton have managed to secure their Premier League status ahead of their highly-anticipated move to Bramley-Moore Dock next season, which needed top-flight status.
Sean Dyche believes he could coach Arsenal
Dyche admitted to The Rest Is Football (26 March) that he’s “at ease” with what he was able to do at Everton, but it didn’t help his reputation for delivering negative football.
Dyche’s style has always left fans wondering if he could cope managing a bigger club, which is something Paul Merson once thought was possible when he tipped him for the England job.

He admitted to Gary Lineker that he got hammered for those links, despite him never saying anything about them, but Dyche did make it clear he believes he’s good enough to coach the Gunners.
He said, “Yeah, of course. I think I could manage anyone. I don’t exactly, I don’t suffer with a lack of confidence, Gary, that’s for sure.”
Sean Dyche is unlikely to follow other ex-Everton managers to big jobs
Several former Everton bosses have landed huge roles after their spells at Goodison Park, with Carlo Ancelotti taking charge of Real Madrid and Ronald Koeman becoming the Barcelona manager after his sacking.
Frank Lampard managed a return to Chelsea for his second stint as manager, while Moyes himself landed the highly after Man United job after Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure.
Dyche might be an experienced and proven manager in the Premier League, but it’s unlikely that he’s going to land a significant role at the top end of the division anytime soon.
Troy Deeney has actually suggested that Dyche might want to take a year out of the game, despite the risks that can come with a decision such as that.
