Everton held ‘an informal meeting’ with Unai Emery about the possibility of replacing Marco Silva as manager.

Silva was sacked as Everton head coach earlier this month after guiding the club into the relegation zone.

The inside stories of his departure revealed the indecisive nature of his departure, but Sky Sports News claims the club were much more proactive in identifying a successor.

They say ‘an informal meeting was held in London’ with the Spaniard, who was ousted as Arsenal manager at the end of last month.

Emery reportedly ‘wants more time to think about his next move,’ although he considers England as a leading option alongside Spain and Italy.

He ‘does not want to wait too long’ before taking his next job, although it seems unlikely that will come at Goodison Park.

Sky add that Everton are working off a four-man shortlist which includes Carlo Ancelotti. Good luck, fellas.
