Jose Mourinho is a shock name in the frame to replace the ex-Burnley chief, along with Goodison Park legend David Moyes, who left West Ham in the summer.
In the build-up to Thursday’s match, Dyche admitted that club owners TFG would not be doing their jobs if they were not considering the possibility of replacing him.
Everton are currently 16th in the Premier League and just one point above the relegation zone.
The appointment of Mourinho could be seen as a spectacular coup – despite TFG billionaire owner Dan Friedin, also owner of Roma, sacking him a year ago.
The Portuguese was also twice axed by Chelsea as well as Manchester United, Real Madrid and Inter Milan but he described his dismissal by Friedkin as the “one that most hurt”.
He took over Fenerbache last summer but is at war with Turkish authorities over the way Turkey’s Super Lig is being run.
Despite being so upset by the way Friedkin got rid of him the 61-year-old would love a chance for another tilt at the Premier League.
