Sean Dyche said yesterday he had left Everton at “the right time” after managing the club during “one of its toughest periods in its history”.

Dyche was sacked just hours before the FA Cup tie with Peterborough last Thursday by Everton’s new US-based owners, The Friedkin Group, with the Liverpool club just one point above the Premier League relegation zone.

Within two days, David Moyes returned as Everton manager, with the Scot having previously held the job at Goodison Park from 2002 to 2013.

Dyche, in a statement issued by the League Managers’ Association, said: “It was an honour to manage Everton, a football club with a significant heritage and an enormous following in Liverpool and all over the world, through one of its toughest periods in its history.
