Sean Dyche has landed a new job away from the football pitch after just two months since his exit from Everton.
The 53-year-old did not have a job since January, when the Toffees sacked him just three hours before their FA Cup clash against Peterborough in the third round.
His position was under growing danger amid the side’s disappointing results, with one win over his last 11 matches in charge at Everton.
Dyche saw his Premier League exit despite managing the Toffees to survive in the top league and avoid relegation to the Championship in two consecutive seasons.
However, after several weeks of speculation over his future role in the world of football, the famous coach decided to land a role outside the venues.
On Friday, it was announced that the former Burnley manager would join talkSPORT in order to share his expertise and knowledge with the audience.

The outlet confirmed that Dyche will appear as a co-host every Sunday from 12pm to 2pm alongside his friend Jonny Owen.
It is understood that the show will focus heavily on the football world but include the 53-year-old’s view on specific topics, such as Thomas Tuchel’s England or Dyche’s experience at various Premier League sides.
Although the English specialist did not deny a potential return to the dugout in the near future, he appeared highly excited and motivated for his new role.
‘Hopefully a bit of chat, a bit of banter and a couple of stories, we’ll see how we go,’ he said.
‘I’m open to ideas at this stage. I’ve been in the game a long time. I’ve been in the Premier League for ten years.
‘As you know, the game is so fast now. I’ve had lots of offers from media – which I’m considering.
‘I’m happy to be doing a bit for talkSPORT and Jonny, who is a friend of mine and very knowledgeable on football and life in general. So I’m looking forward to that.’
Just two months ago, Dyche had left Everton, and the club moved quickly to bring in his replacement, David Moyes, in a sensational return after 12 years.
Dyche was swiftly replaced at Goodison Park by former boss David Moyes, who returned at the club after 12 years
However, the English specialist did not rule out a potential return to a managerial role in the near future
It was understood that the Toffees’ owners were willing to offer Moyes a comeback in November following several dismal displays from Dyche’s squad, which were followed by boos from the stands.
‘You never know what will come around,’ Dyche added. ‘Football is a strange business. It changes very quickly and the viewpoint changes quickly as well.
‘You spend some time out of the game, and suddenly you become a better manager without managing. Because people go, ‘They need that guy’.
Reflecting on his time at Everton, he said: ‘There’s that mixed bag of people who agree and disagree, but I look back on it as a very successful couple of years.
‘The club was in a bad state. It’s a big club and they were in a poor situation.
‘To guide it through that and hand it over… I said in my statement, when I left, they were in good shape.
