Sam Allardyce has played down speculation that he could return to Everton as their next manager.
The Blues are searching for a replacement for Frank Lampard, following his sacking on Monday afternoon. The 44-year-old had lasted 12 months in the job, but left Goodison Park with the club in the relegation zone.
Everton have already been linked with a host of names as potential candidates to replace Lampard. The likes of Marcelo Bielsa, Ralph Hasenhuttl, Mauricio Pochettino and Sean Dyche have all been linked with the job, and so too has Allardyce.
