Sean Dyche is keen on the manager's job at Everton.

The Sun says he heads a clutch of high-profile managers ready to answer Everton's SOS should Frank Lampard be sacked.

And Goodison legends Wayne Rooney and Duncan Ferguson are also believed to be interested — with David Moyes the dark horse.

The Toffees are at a low point in their Premier League history, languishing third from bottom as the clubs approach the halfway stage.

But that has not put off a series of candidates who would be willing to throw their hat in the ring if the club's board decide to pull the trigger on struggling Lampard.

Dyche, 51, is keen on the Goodison post and the former Burnley chief has the Premier League survival experience they need.

Free-agent Dyche has been waiting for a top-flight return and has snubbed many Championship offers.
