Everton have seen a number of managers come and go during Farhad Moshiri’s time as the owner of the club.
Thursday marked a new start in Everton’s history as the keys were handed over to The Friedkin Group.
Sean Dyche remains the manager set to take the club into their promising fresh start under the American billionaire, but speculation hangs over his position.
Following a meeting with the new ownership ground, Dyche has said the Friedkins are supporting him with no signs of a change coming.
However, the new owners may well be considering appointing a big name manager when Dyche’s contract runs out at the end of the season.

“I want to be honest: winning at Madrid is easier,” he told Spanish outlet El Pais.
“I didn’t expect this, I didn’t imagine I could return. I called the club to see if there were players (to sign), I threw it there (in reference to when he applied to be a coach after Zinedine Zidane’s departure) and they fell into the trap.”
It is now five years to the day [Saturday 21 December] since Ancelotti was appointed as the Everton manager.
Ancelotti recently hailed Everton ahead of Real Madrid’s Champions League defeat against Liverpool last month.
But how most Everton fans would love to have a manager of his stature fronting the exciting times being promised ahead of the club.
Ancelotti’s Everton record was considerably better than Sean Dyche’s
Not many can knock Ancelotti for trading in his role at Everton to make his return to Real Madrid where he has won it all.
However, Ancelotti recently made a Dyche-esque comment which may put some fans off potentially ever seeing him return.
But Ancelotti’s record as the Everton manager is considerably better than that of Dyche.

Real Madrid fans are criticising Ancelotti now despite the success they have had under the Italian over the years.
So, it will be interesting to see whether his name emerges over a potential return over the coming months.
