Placing David Unsworth as their interim manager following Ronald Koeman’s sacking, Everton now need to make a decision: giving their U23 manager a real chance or appointing someone in his stead quickly.
With claims that former managers like David Moyes and currently employed ones such as Sean Dyche could be looked at, a new name has appeared, this time in France.
According to InfoMercato, ex-Aston Villa manager Rémi Garde is a name on Everton’s shortlist, and this shows how quickly things have gotten out of hand already.
Aston Villa are still looking for a return to the Premier League, now under Steve Bruce, but it was clear they didn’t have a future under Garde.
There was also no indication Garde could do better with more funds and better players at his disposal, and just considering him would be a real act of desperation from Everton.
Considering themselves a club with a lot of ambition, going for the likes of Thomas Tuchel or even the aforementioned Sean Dyche, who has excelled at Burnley with limited resources, makes a lot more sense.
