- Belgium manager under consideration for return in interim role
- Benítez’s controversial reign ends after 22 matches
Roberto Martínez, the first Everton manager sacked by Farhad Moshiri, is being considered for a remarkable return to Goodison Park after the dismissal of Rafael Benítez. The former Liverpool manager’s short and troubled spell was ended on Sunday after defeat by fellow strugglers Norwich City.
Moshiri, Everton’s erratic majority shareholder, is seeking his sixth permanent manager in six years having accepted that his controversial appointment of Benítez had backfired. It is understood other board members had been pushing for Benítez’s removal for several weeks after a dreadful run of form.
