Soon-to-be Everton owner Dan Friedkin has sacked AS Roma manager Ivan Juric after eight league games following Daniele de Rossi’s dismissal in September.
The American businessman parted ways with De Rossi following three draws and a defeat in their opening four Serie A games of the season.
Juric did not fare better in the eight matches he managed, winning three games, drawing once and losing four times.
Friedkin has proven that he is not afraid to pull the trigger, which could be bad news for Everton manager Sean Dyche.
The Toffees have just two wins in 11 Premier League games this term, losing five and drawing four.
Farhad Moshiri cannot sack Dyche right now, but the incoming owner may not hesitate if things do not change after his arrival.
Friedkin is due to arrive at Everton in December, and the boss may need to impress him right away with some good results if he wants to hold on to his job.
There are a couple of good managers currently out of job, and they will not hesitate to throw their hats into the ring if Dyche is fired.
The Goodison Park club need better players, and while Friedkin could look to make some recruitment in January, he could be tempted to do that with a new manager in charge.
Everton are 16th in the Premier League table, with just three points separating them from the drop zone, and the incoming owner cannot afford to see them go down a few months into his reign.
