Everton have sacked manager Sean Dyche after a run of just one win from their last 11 games, leaving them a point above the Premier League relegation zone.
Leighton Baines and Seamus Coleman are set to take charge of the FA Cup third-round tie against Peterborough on Thursday evening.
Members of Dyche’s backroom team Ian Woan, Steve Stone, Mark Howard and Billy Mercer have also left the club.
The Toffees sit 16th in the Premier League and did not register a shot on target during Saturday’s 1-0 loss at Bournemouth – their eighth league defeat of the season and they have failed to score in eight of their last 10 games.
Dyche took charge at Everton in January 2023, having had a near 10-year stint as Burnley boss between October 2012 and April 2022.
The Toffees survived relegation at the end of the 2022-23 season by just two points, securing a final-day victory over the Bournemouth.
The 53-year-old then kept Everton in the top flight last season, despite the team having eight points deducted from their total because of two separate breaches of the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
