Vitor Pereira has admitted to being “hurt” at a campaign by Everton fans to get him ‘out’, even before he has been appointed as manager of the club.
But the Portuguese coach was adamant that the criticism of the Blues supporters was just an example of the “passion” they feel for the club, and the hurt at some disastrous form over the past few seasons.
And Pereira insisted he is still very much still in the running for the vacant job, as he revealed that the club’s owner Farhad Moshiri has told him to be calm and patience as they work towards unveiling a new manager.
