Speaking to Everton’s official website, Dyche said: ‘It’s an honour to become Everton manager. My staff and I are ready and eager to help get this great club back on track.

‘I know about Everton’s passionate fanbase and how precious this club is to them. We’re ready to work and ready to give them what they want. That starts with sweat on the shirt, effort and getting back to some of the basic principles of what Everton Football Club has stood for for a long time.

‘We want to bring back a good feeling. We need the fans, we need unity and we need everyone aligned. That starts with us as staff and players.

‘Our aim is to put out a team that works, that fights and wears the badge with pride. The connection with the fans can then grow very quickly because they’re so passionate.’

Former Burnley boss Dyche added that he wants to change the shape of Everton and give his players freedom. 

He said: ‘There is quality in this squad. But we have to make them shine. That’s the job of me and my staff. We want to change the shape of this club going forward, remodel it in our style, but in a way that we can win.

‘That’s the task in front of us – make sure we’re building, tactically and technically, giving players organisation, allow them the freedom to play, to go and enjoy their football because it’s brilliant when the team’s playing with a smile, but we’ve got to win.’

The first game for Dyche as Everton manager will be at home to league leaders Arsenal

Everton are languishing in 19th place in the Premier League and are currently two points adrift of safety. 

Dyche’s first game in charge of his new club is at home to league leaders Arsenal on Saturday. 

Everton made an offer of £40million plus £5million in add-ons for Conor Gallagher, but the Chelsea midfielder would prefer a move to Newcastle or a big six club if he was to leave the Blues.
