But Dyche is now emerging as the front-runner for the job despite Bielsa’s presence in the UK and the former Burnley boss is expected to be named as Lampard's successor.
Dyche's long-serving assistants Ian Woan and Steve Stone are also set to join Everton as coaches.
Stone joined the Burnley coaching staff in 2018, while Woan was there since 2012 - the pair left the club with Dyche in April.
Sportsmail revealed yesterday Davide Ancelotti - son of former manager Carlo - had been discussed as an alternative.
The 33-year-old coach, who worked under his father at Goodison Park, is currently part of the backroom team at Real Madrid, where Carlo is manager.
Carlos Corberan and Sam Allardyce are also of interest to Everton.
