Sean Dyche has revealed he rejected the chance to be part of the coverage of the Club World Cup as he opened up on his time in charge of Everton. Dyche left his position as Everton manager just hours before the Blues’ FA Cup third-round clash with Peterborough on January 9.
The former Burnley boss had taken over from Frank Lampard in 2023, and although he helped steer the club away from relegation in back-to-back seasons, he came under pressure from Blues supporters in the final months of his tenure. At the time of his departure from Goodison Park, the Blues were 16th in the table, having won just three of the 19 Premier League games they had played.
Since being replaced by David Moyes, the 54-year-old has been patient in waiting for the right role to come up, despite being linked with jobs in the top-flight and Sky Bet Championship.
And now opening up on his time away from football on the From The Bee Hole End – Clarets Content podcast, Dyche revealed that he is in no rush to return to management, but is interested in doing more media work – despite rejecting the chance to be part of the coverage for the Club World Cup.
“I am looking at some media stuff, which might be quite interesting,” he said. “Obviously, wait and see what happens in football, I don’t think there is anything in the pipeline for now.
“Well the witching season will come again, it always does, but just some quality time, I have quite enjoyed having some downtime.
“All jobs are intense, but Everton at the end was really heavy lifting, but there was a lot of good work done there, so I am very proud of the work we did there.
“Coming out of there and spending a bit of me time, really. I have played a bit of golf, I go down the gym and I do like a couple of beers at the weekend; I like a gig.
“I have quite enjoyed lots of different media stuff but not the thing you imagine, you know, the Club World Cup, because I got offered that and said no thanks.
“I am not obsessed with football at the moment. I keep my eye on things, but someone said the other day, ‘What about these transfers?’, but I don’t know because I haven’t really looked at the transfers.
“I don’t know whether you think my whole life is just staring at Sky Sports every day, but that doesn’t happen, so just a mixed bag, really.
“Quite a lot on the media thing, which I am just looking at now, and people coming to me about social media, so I am just finding my way through that and having a lot of meetings in London at the minute about possibles and all that sort of stuff.”
