Everton bekrefter i dag at Sam Allardyce er ferdig som manager i klubben, med følgende kunngjøring:
Everton Football Club can confirm that Sam Allardyce has left his role as manager.
Professor Denise Barrett-Baxendale said: “On behalf of the Chairman, Board of Directors and Mr Moshiri, I’d like to thank Sam for the job he has done at Everton over the last seven months. Sam was brought in at a challenging time last season to provide us with some stability and we are grateful to him for doing that.
“However, we have made the decision that, as part of our longer-term plan, we will be appointing a new manager this summer and will be commencing this process immediately. Again, we’d like to place on record our sincere thanks to Sam for his work with us over the last few months and wish him well for the future.”
Allardyce tok over etter Ronald Koeman som fikk en svært tung start på sesongen. Big Sam snudde skyta og ledet Everton til en åttendeplass. Han signerte en kontrakt på 18 måneder, men fikk bare sitte i 6 av dem. Dette til tross for for at han har har gjort en bra jobb resultatmessig, men heldigvis er det mer enn resultater som teller i dagens fotball.
Marco Silva nevnes som en mulig ny manager.
