Sam Allardyce’s tenure as Everton boss is over after the club announced the 63-year-old’s departure on Wednesday. Allardyce was appointed as Ronald Koeman’s replacement in November
last year with the Toffees lying 13th in the Premier League. While they
were consistently in the lower reaches of the top half thereafter and
ended up eighth, there was fan discontent over the style of play. Here, Post Sport looks at potential candidates to succeed the former England manager.

Sam Allardyce’s tenure as Everton boss is over after the club announced the 63-year-old’s departure on Wednesday. Allardyce was appointed as Ronald Koeman’s replacement in November
last year with the Toffees lying 13th in the Premier League. While they
were consistently in the lower reaches of the top half thereafter and
ended up eighth, there was fan discontent over the style of play. Here, Post Sport looks at potential candidates to succeed the former England manager.
MARCO SILVA
Marco Silva responds to speculation linking him with vacant Everton job
The Portuguese, currently without a club, appears the front-runner.
Everton had overtures for Silva rejected by Watford before appointing
Allardyce - the Hornets subsequently said when axing the 40-year-old as
boss in January that “the unwarranted approach by a Premier League rival”
had been “the catalyst” for their decision, with the board believing it
was something that had seen a “significant deterioration in both focus
and results”.
At that point Watford had won only one of their last 11 league games. They had made an excellent start to the season under Silva, who had impressed at Hull in 2016-17, despite not being able to save them from relegation.
PAULO FONSECA

The
45-year-old has been in charge at Shakhtar Donetsk since 2016 and
guided them to back-to-back Ukrainian league and cup doubles, as well as
the last 16 of the Champions League this season.
He has also been linked with West Ham where David Moyes’ future remains unclear.
SERGIO CONCEICAO

after the Primeira Liga match between FC Porto and Feirense. It was reported last week that Conceicao, another
Portuguese manager, was someone Everton had identified as a candidate
should Allardyce depart. The former Portugal international, 43, is currently with Porto and his first season in charge has just concluded with them as league champions.
In 2016-17, his Nantes side finished seventh in Ligue 1.
EDDIE HOWE
AFC Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe is being linked with the vacant Everton job Bournemouth boss Howe has overseen the club finishing 16th, ninth and then 12th in the Premier League after promotion in 2015.
Something particularly interesting to note in the case of the highly-rated 40-year-old is that he was a childhood Everton fan.
SEAN DYCHE

Securing
that seventh place means the Clarets will be in the second qualifying
round of the Europa League next term - their first continental action
for more than 50 year
