Everton sack manager Sean Dyche

Everton have announced the departure of manager Sean Dyche.

Dyche departs Everton after a run of five winless matches leaves them 16th in the Premier League table, just a point above the relegation zone.

Everton have scored just 15 league goals this season, the second-fewest, after bottom-club Southampton.

An Everton statement reads: "The process to appoint a new manager is under way and an update will be provided in due course.

"Under-18s head coach Leighton Baines and club captain Seamus Coleman will take charge of first-team affairs on an interim basis."

The club say that coaches Ian Woan, Steve Stone, Mark Howard and Billy Mercer have also left the club.

Everton are in FA Cup third-round action against Peterborough United on Thursday evening. Their next Premier League match is at home to Aston Villa on Wednesday 15 January.
