He began his senior managerial career at Derby County in 2018 and just a year later he was appointed by his former club Chelsea.
Halfway through his second season in charge at Stamford Bridge, he was sacked and replaced by Thomas Tuchel.
He joined Everton in January 2022 but his spell saw the Toffees spend the bulk of his time in charge fighting relegation, which led to his exit just 44 games later.
He returned to Chelsea as interim coach in April 2023, but it was a miserable return as he lost 8 of his 11 games after coming back.
