Dyche has been without a job since being fired by Burnley in April of last year after a decade in charge of the Clarets.

Everton is currently second from bottom in the league standings with just 15 points from 20 games thus far.

Speaking of his appointment as the new manager of the Toffees, Dyche stated that it is an honour to join the club and that the goal is to get the club back on track.

"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.

"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 is our task: to ensure that we are building tactically and technically, giving players organization, allowing them the freedom to play, to go and enjoy their football because it is brilliant when the team is playing with a smile, but we have to win.

Dyche's first game in charge of the Merseyside club will be the league fixture against the current Premiership leaders, Arsenal, at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon.
