Everton have resolved that if they remove Martinez, the 50-year-old will be their next manager. Sean Dyche’s
Everton is thinking about replacing Sean Dyche with Pascal Jansen.
According to TEAMtalk, the Toffees have placed the head coach of AZ Alkmaar at the top of their shortlist.
Jansen, who was born in London, has spent most of his coaching career in the Netherlands, where he grew up. The 50-year-old has previously played for Vitesse, Sparta Rotterdam, and PSV before joining AZ in 2018.
Jansen, who started out as a coach, was elevated to manager in December 2020 and has been impressing ever since.
Last season, Jansen guided AZ to the Europa Conference League semi-finals until they were eliminated by eventual champions West Ham.
They have continued where they left off last season, and are now equal on points with PSV at the top of the Eredivisie, behind only on goal difference. The Dutch club had five victories from their first five games.
This season, might Everton replace Dyche with Pascal Jansen?
Everton are apparently one of many teams interested in bringing Jansen in to replace Dyche, however no official actions have been made to fire the former Burnley manager.
The Toffees aren’t the only club interested in Jansen; Crystal Palace and Rangers are also keeping tabs on his progress. West Ham were also interested in Jansen before deciding to maintain David Moyes after their European success.
Everton do not appear to be keen to fire Dyche at the time. However, once their control is complete, everything might alter.
Everton supporters should keep an eye on AZ’s results in the coming months, as things might alter if 777 Partners arrive. It will also be crucial to see whether Dyche can exploit their victory over Brentford to turn things around on Merseyside.
