David Unsworth wants Everton job… but Toffees could land Sean Dyche or Phil Neville

Unsworth has been given the reins on a temporary basis after Koeman was sacked by Everton on Monday following a poor start to the season which has left them languishing in the Premier League’s bottom three.

The former Everton defender Unsworth will be given four games, starting tonight at Chelsea in the fourth round of the Carabo Cup, leading up to the November international break by Toffees owner Farhad Moshiri to show what he can do.

Unsworth, 44, said: “It’s a great opportunity. I am keen. I’d love this job. I’ll give it everything I’ve got.

“Who wouldn’t want this job? It is a wonderful football club with amazing fans and it is a top job for any manager, myself included.

“I want to manage. I think the time has come to say that and I make no secret of it at all.”

Unsworth, who was interviewed for the job after Roberto Martinez was sacked in May 2016, would be a popular appointment with Everton’s players and chairman Bill Kenwright.

However, the club are set to do their due diligence with other candidates with Burnley manager Sean Dyche, former Everton captain Phil Neville and ex-Borussia Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel all in the frame.

After tonight, Everton face Premier League games with Leicester and Watford either side of their Europa League group clash with Lyon.

Unsworth, who has been promoted from his role as the club’s Under-23 coach and Academy manager, addressed Everton’s squad yesterday in bid to kickstart their season.

This will be the second time he has held the manager’s job on an interim basis having take charge for one game at the end of the season 18 months ago when Martinez was sacked.

Despite having longer to make his mark in the Everton dug out, claims he does not feel under any extra pressure.

He said: “The chairman, Farhad and the board have given me an amazing opportunity to hopefully get a run of games where performance levels go up and we produce some wins as well.

“We’ll see how we perform and see how results go. We’ll keep communicating and take it from there, week by week.

“Performances and results will dictate any future for me as Everton manager. I don’t see myself under any pressure at all. I’m going to enjoy it.”
