Whenever a manager gets sacked, numerous names fill the gossip pages, and that has been the case with Everton.
The Merseyside outfit are currently searching for a successor to Ronald Koeman, whose ambition in the transfer window did not match up on the pitch as he oversaw just two wins in nine Premier League games this season.
As it stands, Under-23s coach David Unsworth is in charge of the first team, but it is only on an interim basis.
Sky Sports News claims that Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone is the number one target for Everton majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri.
The Argentine is reportedly at the very top of a list of four potential candidates, with the club’s chief willing to back the new leader with funds.
Simeone has been at the helm of Atletico for the past six years, winning five trophies, including the La Liga title.
The 47-year-old is also tied down to the Spanish outfit until 2020 having signed a new contract in September.
The news of Everton’s rumoured interest in Simeone has, understandably, got the fans talking.
