Everton next manager odds: Former Stoke City boss linked, David Moyes favourite

Everton have become the latest Premier League club to cut ties with

their manager, parting ways with Marco Silva on Thursday.

The Portuguese boss has been under pressure for a number of weeks

and the trigger was pulled in the aftermath of a 5-2 drubbing at the

hands of arch-rivals Liverpool, which left the club in the relegation

zone.

As a result, the Merseyside outfit are now on the hunt for a new

manager and a number of familiar names are being linked with a

move to Goodison Park, as shown by the latest odds from SkyBet.

Former Stoke City boss Mark Hughes is included in the bookies' odds

to take over the Toffees, albeit far down the list.

David Moyes is the leading contender to take the reigns and return to

the club where he spent years previously, with the former Manchester

United and Sunderland boss odds-on for a reunion.

River Plate boss Marcelo Gallardo, who has impressed in South

America, is second in the list to take the reigns, ahead of

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe, former Newcastle United boss

Rafael Benitez and former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino.

Other notable names include former players Duncan Ferguson and

Mikel Arteta, the latter of whom is also tipped as a contender for

Arsenal’s vacant managerial position following the sacking of Unai

Emery.
