Portuguese coach Vitor Pereira is expected to be confirmed as the next manager of Everton, after re-emerging as owner Farhad Moshiri’s preferred candidate for the job.
In yet another highly controversial appointment by the eccentric billionaire that is sure to anger and frustrate long suffering Blues supporters, Moshiri seems to have once again gone against advice from within the club to push his own choice.
The Everton board had set out a process this week of interviewing several candidates for the role, with Frank Lampard and Pereira two of the coaches asked to make further presentations, when they met Moshiri early in the week.
