Everton have parted ways with Sean Dyche, ending his tenure just shy of two years at Goodison Park.
The announcement came mere hours before Everton's FA Cup third-round clash with Peterborough, with club stalwarts Leighton Baines and Seamus Coleman stepping in as interim coaches.
Dyche, 53, leaves with Everton languishing in 16th place in the Premier League, only one point clear of relegation.
A dismal 1-0 loss to Bournemouth, marked by Everton failing to register a shot on target, capped a season of frustration, with the Toffees winning just three of their 19 league matches.
