While manager of Burnley, Sean Dyche managed to get the Clarets consistently punching above their weight, starting with promotion to the top flight, and then consolidating impressively.
In six Premier League seasons, they finished in the top-half twice, with a Europa League appearance secured in 2018 thanks to the club's highest league finish since 1974.
He should see that level improve, but should the worst happen, and the Toffees do get relegated, they can hold confidence from Burnley’s last spell in the second tier under Dyche, in which they bounced back up with the Sky Bet Championship trophy in their hands.
It may not be the flashiest of appointments, but it was the right one for Everton at this current juncture, and gives them the best chance of surviving this season.
