Sean Dyche's name "should be in the hat" for the vacant position of England manager, says Everton full-back Ashley Young.

The Three Lions job is available after Gareth Southgate resigned from the role - which Young called "disappointing" - just two days after their heartbreaking 2-1 defeat by Spain in the Euro 2024 final.

Dyche was named Toffees boss in January 2023 and steered the side to Premier League safety at the end of that season and secured a 15th place finish last term.

“I don’t think even when Gareth Southgate got the job, he [Dyche] was considered to be England manager," former England full-back Young told �鶹Լ�� Sport.

"Who can say the gaffer shouldn’t be considered because you don’t know until someone is given that role.

"You have had previous managers like Steve McClaren, Fabio Capello, Roy Hodgson who have come in with a longer career in the game, with more success but have not been able to get the England team to, where I feel, an England team should have been.

"There will be names thrown in the hat left, right and centre and for the job the manager has done, of course his name should be in the hat."

Dyche previously spent almost a decade at Burnley where he guided the unfancied Clarets to Europa League football with a seventh-placed finish in the Premier League.

Last season, he secured Everton's top-flight status with three games to spare on the back of two separate points deductions and the uncertainty of a takeover of the club.

Speaking at Everton's training camp in Ireland, Young said: "When he came in it looked like the club was going to get relegated and he saved them on the final day of the season.

"He was still able to come in and turn the club around. Last season, if things were different the position we could have finished in could have been totally different.

"I don’t think he is given the praise for what he does and brings to the club. There should be so much more praise for what he has done.”
