Former Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa has overnight become the clear favourite to take over from Frank Lampard at Goodison Park after he was dismissed as Everton manager on Monday.
The Toffees are on the hunt for a new coach to salvage their season. Lampard leaves Everton with the club languishing in 19th place and in drastic need of a fast turnaround if they are to avoid relegation this term.
Bielsa, who left Leeds in February 2022, was heavily linked with the top job at AFC Bournemouth prior to Gary O'Neil's appointment. The 67-year-old returned the Whites to the Premier League after a 16-year hiatus, overseeing a 9th placed finish in their first season back in the top-flight.
