There is no safehaven for coaches, who are the most affected when things don't go well. For Marco Silva, the five goals conceded in the derby against Liverpool cost him his job. Farhad Mashiri, Blues owner, is looking for a replacement to help turn around their worrying situation. David Moyes sounded first, but according to 'The Times', Pochettino and Ancelotti are the favourites.
For Moyes, anything other than a long-term contract seems to keep him away from Goodison Park and because of his footballing character, Pochettino has an advantage over the Italian. The Argentine also knows the Premier League well, in addition to also being out of a job after his exit from Tottenham.
Ancelotti's case is a but more complicated. Napoli's draw at the Friuli Stadium puts him under even more pressure. His team have gone six league games without a win and for several days the worry about being sacked has been hanging over him. However, until this is confirmed, 'Carletto' would have a more difficult time landing at Everton.
Other names, such as the former Valencian Marcelino or Erik ten Hag from Ajax have been sounding out with force in the past few weeks.
