Former Dortmund manager Tuchel has been out of work since being sacked as manager last season.

The 44-year-old was replaced by Peter Bosz at the Westfalenstadion after failing to challenge Bayern Munich in the league.

According to the Mirror, contact has been made with Tuchel's representatives, but the German is reportedly not ready to rush into a decision, as he bids to see what happens with Bayern Munich.

Meanwhile Burnley manager Dyche has also been tipped to replace Dutchman Koeman, with the Clarets currently ninth in the Premier League.

According to Sky Sports, the former journeyman pro is open to a new challenge and realises Everton would be a step-up in calibre of clubs he could manage.

But Dyche has made such a success of Burnley partly because he has been able to scout using an exceedingly tight budget and polish rough diamonds in his own style.

After Everton's big-spending summer, a move to Goodison Park could represent a massive challenge for Dyche, with his team beating the Toffees 1-0 earlier this month.

Ex-Manchester United winger Ryan Giggs has also been tipped for the vacant Everton and Leicester jobs.

Meanwhile SunSport columnist Ian Wright has described how Everton are no longer the "people's club".

He said: "That’s how it has always been up there. David Moyes was spot on calling Everton the People’s Club, because it’s long been an 'all for one, one for all' mantra.

"At least it has been until now, that is. The ethos they needed like never before was one sorely missing under Ronald Koeman — now he’s paid the ultimate price for it."
