Marcelo Bielsa wanted to work with Everton's Under-21s team and the club's academy before taking over the reins as first-team manager in the summer, according to a new report.
Everton have held talks with the former Leeds United manager about replacing the sacked Frank Lampard. But the Blues are now set to announce ex-Burnley boss Sean Dyche as the man to try and keep their Premier League status intact.
Bielsa had been in discussions with Everton owner Farhad Moshiri and members of the club's hierarchy after flying in from Brazil. And Paul Joyce in The Times has reported the former Argentina manager made very specific demands.
