Sean Dyche said Wednesday he had left Everton at "the right time" after managing the club during "one of its toughest periods in its history".

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.

Sean Dyche has broken his silence in an official statement released today following his sacking from Everton last week after nearly two years in charge.
