What happened to Ronald Koeman's final Everton XI

October 22, 2022, marks five years since Ronald Koeman took charge of his final game at Everton. A humbling 5-2 defeat on home soil at the hands of Arsene Wenger's Arsenal was the final straw for Toffees owner Farhad Moshiri who dismissed the Dutchman less than 48 hours after the full-time whistle.

Goals from Nacho Monreal, Mesut Ozil, Alexander Lacezette, Aaron Ramsay and Alexis Sanchez condemned the Blues to damning defeat and left them 18th in the Premier League table.

Despite the thrashing, the former Barcelona defender believed he was the right man to change fortunes at Goodison Park. "I still believe I can change the whole situation but everybody knows how it works in football. That is all I answer about this situation so ask somebody else," said Koeman to the BBC full-time. However, that would be his last appearance as Everton's manager.
