Everton's search for their next manager continues today following the sacking of Rafa Benitez after defeat to Norwich City on Sunday.
The ECHO understands that Everton are exploring the possibility of bringing Roberto Martinez back to Goodison Park, however, a deal to bring him to the club has reportedly been stalled.
Martinez, who is currently in charge of Belgium, has support in the Everton boardroom and was under discussion in the summer before Benitez was hired - with Farhad Moshiri opting to go with the former Liverpool boss.
