Everton decided to part ways with Frank Lampard after a series of poor results that put them in the relegation battle and quickly appointed the former Burnley boss as their new manager.
The Toffees are fighting to secure Premier League safety this season and Dyche, who has previously been in the same situation with Burnley, has a tough job on his hands.
Dyche revealed that his intention to join Everton was based on the magnitude of the club and he believes that the chance to join the Toffees was a big opportunity for him.
He pointed out that in different circumstances, Everton would have appointed someone with a huge reputation for the job and is of the view that he has arrived at the club at the right time.
“I’m a realist”, Dyche told Everton’s matchday programme.
“I wanted the job because this is Everton.
“It’s is a proper football club and a big football club.
“For me, earning my spurs at a smaller concern in Burnley, which it was and there’s no disrespect in that, and getting the chance to come here was a fantastic opportunity.
“My job is to be a custodian in this period.
“On another day the club might have wanted a ‘flamboyant’ manager but the timing of me here now is probably appropriate and I think people see that.
“I get the feeling the fans see it.
“Perhaps three or four years ago they wouldn’t have wanted me.
“I’ve got no problem with that at all.
“Three or four years ago, maybe I wouldn’t have suited it but now I certainly feel like the timing is right.”
All eyes will be on Dyche to see whether he will be able to guide the Merseyside club to Premier League safety this season.
