Benitez is toast: Nuno set to be his successor

More and more supporters have turned against Rafa Benitez and less are defending him. The Spanish manager has had a bad time at Everton, who are now 15th in the Premier League, six points above the relegation zone. 

This situation has led to the club looking for a replacement for him and they have been looking for one for several weeks. The Everton board, however, do not want to make a mistake in this regard so they are not rushing things. 

The defeat against Norwich City, a team who had only won twice up to that point, seems to have been the straw which has broken the camel's back. Just five wins in 19 matches is clearly not enough. 

As a result of this, 'Talksport' has leaked that Nuno Espirito Santo is in pole position to take over. Talks with the Portuguese side are now underway and an agreement could be made official in the coming days, or even hours.
