The word from Merseyside on Bielsa is that he wanted to come in and work with the club’s Under-21 team for the rest of the season until taking over the seniors next season. Until that, an interim boss would come in. Has anyone told Sean Dyche this?
Per Andy Hunter:
Bielsa informed Everton he would join now but would work behind the scenes until the end of the season, coaching the under-21s and younger players as the club adapted to his methods. That would have left Everton needing an interim manager for the precarious task of keeping them in the Premier League and was not a situation the club was willing to accept.
