Former Newcastle United striker Duncan Ferguson has left his coaching role at Everton to pursue managerial opportunities. Ferguson was the Toffees first team assistant manager under Frank Lampard and had stepped up to serve as Everton's caretaker manager on two occasions in the past.
Following Marco Silva's dismissal back in December 2019, Ferguson took charge of the Toffees and helped them to a 3-1 win over Chelsea before Carlo Ancelotti was appointed. He also took charge of first team matters following the sacking of Rafa Benitez earlier this year prior to Lampard's appointment at Goodison Park.
The 50-year-old, who spent two seasons with Newcastle, wants to now broaden his horizons, opting to seek out a new challenge in his career.
