After firing Spaniard Benitez, Everton's new manager is undoubtedly the focus of attention. On January 18, Beijing time, from the well-known British media "Guardian" news, Everton hopes that Mourinho can return to the Premier League to take over the team. In order to show its sincerity, "Toffee" even sent invitations to "madmen" three times in a week.
It is reported that in early December last year, Everton intended to invite Mourinho to coach. Everton's boss has always been a Fan of Jose Mourinho and is willing to pay him liquidated damages. The "not bad money" Everton boss even promised Mourinho that if he was willing to take over the team, he would spend a lot of money to strengthen the lineup.
As the top coach in football, Mourinho has coached Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and other Premier League powerhouses, and he has achieved great success in Chelsea. In May last year, Mourinho left the Premier League to take over Fromago Roma in Serie A, and the two sides signed a three-year contract.
However, despite the fact that Mourinho led the team to a good record at the beginning of the season, Roma's record in recent rounds has fallen sharply, and they have now fallen to 7th place in the Serie A table. With one more match, there is a seven-point gap between 4th-placed Atalanta. It can be said that the "honeymoon period" between Mourinho and Rome has passed, which also allows Everton to see the opportunity to dig people.
However, considering that Mourinho still has a contract, Everton has also circled four alternative managers, namely Lampard, Rooney, Gattuso and Martinez, of which Rooney is undoubtedly Everton's most vocal new manager. This season, Rooney has led Derby County to get out of the bottom position with a deduction of points, and the coaching ability has been fully demonstrated. If the club legend returns, I believe it is also something that Everton fans are happy to see.
