Revisit: Ancelotti at Everton
Merseyside club Everton sacked Portuguese manager Marco Silva in December 2019. Assistant manager Duncan Ferguson took care as interim manager for 4 games before Carlo Ancelotti.

Everton planning to appoint Paulo Fonseca or Steven Gerrard
Paulo Fonseca, the 48 years old Portuguese manager has only managed 1st division club in Portugal, Ukraine and Italy.
Fonseca has a Points Per Match (PPM) of 1.77 at AS Roma from his 101 official matches for the club. And even as a player, he has never played outside Portugal. Hence, tackling Premier League games might certainly bring in tough risk for Everton management.
Meanwhile, Everton has also shortlisted the legend of their city rival Liverpool. Steven Gerrard has considerably better stats at Scottish club Rangers FC as their manager.
Gerrard helped Rangers to win Scottish Championship this season with a PPM of 2.19. Although he has a contract with Rangers FC until 2024, he might show some reluctance in managing the direct rival club to Liverpool.
