Sean Mark Dyche (/daɪtʃ/; born 28 June 1971) is an English professional football manager and former footballer who was most recently the manager of Premier League club Everton.
During his playing career, Dyche played as a centre-back, making his professional debut in 1990 and representing Chesterfield – whom he captained and scored for in an FA Cup semi-final. He also played for Bristol City, Luton Town, Millwall, Watford and Northampton Town. He was promoted with three of his six clubs. After retiring as a player in 2007, he coached at Watford, including a stint as manager between June 2011 and July 2012.
After leaving Watford, Dyche signed for Burnley in October 2012. Dyche guided the club to two promotions to the Premier League, in 2013–14 and 2015–16. During the 2017–18 season, he led Burnley to their first European campaign since 1967, following a seventh-place league finish. Dyche became the longest-serving manager in the Premier League at the end of the 2019–20 season. He was dismissed by Burnley in April 2022, when the club was in the relegation zone; the dismissal was widely criticised. Dyche then joined Everton in January 2023, before getting sacked two years later in January 2025.
