Sean Dyche has been linked with a number of jobs since leaving Everton in January, and could soon be back on the touchline.

Over the past nine months, he has been linked with various job opportunities, including a reported interview with Leicester City this summer.

Recently, Dyche has spoken confidently about his ability to turn things around at Manchester United if given the chance, stating in May: “He (Ruben Amorim) better win some games – pretty quick,” the former Everton boss said in May.

“I reckon if I went there and played my way, we’d win more games. Just 4-4-2 – give them basic rules of principles.”

The 54-year-old is now being backed for another high-profile job by a respected pundit.

Former Rangers forward and current pundit Kris Boyd has backed Sean Dyche to take over from Russell Martin at Ibrox, writing in his column for Sky Sports.

“The obvious one for me would be Sean Dyche. Kevin Thelwell worked with him in the past, and he seems to have a lot of say in the players that are coming in.

“So if that relationship with Dyche is still there, he would be someone that I would maybe look to because he’s shown that he can build football clubs up.

“And right now, Rangers need a strong character that’s going to build it not only on the pitch, but off the pitch at the training centre. It just seems to be so broken, disjointed, and they’re going to have to find a way to fix it.”

With Rangers being one of the most well-supported clubs globally, according to FC Business, Dyche would face a substantial challenge.

Sean Dyche also linked with West Ham United job

Dyche has also been connected to the West Ham United job, as questions begin to surface about Graham Potter’s future at the club.

With three losses in their first four Premier League matches, the Hammers are currently in the relegation zone.

Ben Jacobs has noted that while David Sullivan has considered Dyche for the role, Slaven Bilic remains the top choice.

Despite how things ended at Everton, Dyche’s reputation has not taken much of a hit. He will probably continue to be linked with several Premier League clubs, especially those battling near the bottom of the table.
