Manager’s Scottish experience has ‘paved the way’ for Everton move – Super agents give him a chance

Gennaro Gattuso could be set to emerge as a potential option for Everton after his surprise exit from Fiorentina.

Gattuso has left Fiorentina after just 23 days in charge amid a disagreement over transfers and the involvement of agent Jorge Mendes in the process.

Rather than taking time to recalibrate and look for a job elsewhere, though, he could be set for an immediate move elsewhere; to Everton.

They’re still on the hunt for Carlo Ancelotti’s replacement, and according to Calciomercato.it, Gattuso may be an option.

They say that the Blues could turn to the Italian, who is represented by Mendes but also has links to Kia Joorabchian, who is a ‘man of trust’ as far as Everton are concerned.

Those links, plus his experiences with Rangers in Scotland, have ‘paved the way’ for a potential move to Goodison Park.

As far as the website are concerned, he is not yet in pole position, but the ‘good performance’ of Ancelotti is pushing Everton’s leadership to opt for another Italian coach.

At this moment in time, it seems the idea is just that, an idea, but expect to see more links the longer the Blues managerial hunt continues.

However, the Toffees could find themselves in competition with Tottenham, who have moved onto Gattuso after Paulo Fonseca wasn’t able to sign with Spurs due to ‘tax reasons’.
