The Friedkin family has big plans for Everton and is pursuing Maurizio Sarri to replace Sean Dyche. The Toffees are currently at the bottom of the table having collected just one point in five rounds like Southampton and Wolverhampton.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the new owners might take advantage of the fact that the coach and top director Kevin Thelwell have just a year on their contract to install a completely new regime.
It remains to be seen whether Sarri would indeed take the Everton job or would prefer waiting it out. He recently stated that he was chomping at the bit to return to the bench. He often suggested that he would like to coach again in the Premier League after his spell at Chelsea.
The veteran manager had given his availability to Milan while Paulo Fonseca was in the eye of the storm. The Portuguese gaffer quieted the chatter and the doubters with the impressive victory in the Derby della Madonnina, buying some time for himself.
Dan and Ryan Friedkin aren’t new to bold hires. They turned to José Mourinho after a transitional year with Fonseca, whom they had inherited from the previous governors. They faced heavy criticism from the fans for the first time due to the recent dismissal of Daniele De Rossi. Gareth Southgate has also been rumored for the Toffees job.
Our Take on Everton and Sarri
It’s a matter of timing and ambitions. It’d be a nice landing spot for the gaffer, but he might have more enticing and stable opportunities down the line even if the Milan one has fallen through for the time being.
