Sean Dyche has broken his silence in an official statement released today following his sacking from Everton last week.

Dyche left Everton just hours before the club's FA Cup game on Thursday night, but the team will need to make further additions in January beyond just a new manager.

At the time, Everton was teetering above the relegation zone, positioned 16th in the Premier League. David Moyes then swiftly took the reins for his second spell at the club within 48 hours, signing a two-and-a-half-year deal to succeed Dyche, who originally managed at Goodison Park between 2002 and 2013.
