According to the media "The Athletic", Everton's decision to sack Benitez was due to its poor performance against Norwich.
In this round of the Premier League, Everton lost 2-1 away to Norwich. Benitez was also fired today by Everton. "TA" analyzed that the team has given Benitez time, but the latter's poor performance has made the team's top brass doubt whether they can take the Toffee away from the relegation zone.
Boss Fahad Moshiri fears the team's relegation, which will have serious consequences as a new €500 million stadium project proceeds. The top had previously tended to give Benitez time because they realized a crippled list of injuries was beyond the manager's control.
But the poor performance against Norwich left the boss unsure whether Benitez could turn things around, and he was fully aware that Benitez was no longer popular at the club.
