Ian Buchan (c.1920–1965) was manager of Everton Football Club from 1956 to 1958.
There had been a brief period after the departure of the previous manager, Cliff Britton when Everton was run by a committee.
He was only given the title 'chief coach' so there must have been reservations already and he never gained the confidence of the board.
He had been a Scottish amateur international and was likeable but was out of his depth as a manager of a major team with an ambitious chairman (John Moores).
