Nuno may well prove to be just the appointment Everton needs
2065
A few weeks ago, Everton were caught by surprise, as their iconic head coach Carlo Ancelotti decided to exchange Merseyside for Madrid, as the Italian returned to former club Real Madrid.
The decision left the Everton hierarchy with an unexpected managerial search this summer.
Every head coach and his dog seem to have been linked with the Merseysider’s since the search began. However, reports towards the end of last week suggest that former boss Nuno Espirito Santo will be the new man in the Toffees hot seat.
The 47-year-old had been heavily tipped for the job at the start of the club’s search for a new head coach. However, he wasn’t offered the job and then looked set to take the vacant position at Crystal Palace.
The move to Selhurst Park reportedly broke down over Nuno’s request for a big backroom staff.
It now looks like Nuno negotiations are at an advanced stage between the Portuguese boss and the Toffees though. If social media is anything to judge the reaction by, Evertonian’s are underwhelmed by the prospect of the former Valencia head coach managing their team.
However, that reaction is based on one season of Nuno’s four at Wolves. It would have looked like an astute appointment 12 months ago, as he had not only helped the team from the Midlands to promotion but helped them earn two top seven Premier League finishes too before last season’s 13th place finish.
There has been enough evidence from his time at Wolves that Nuno Espirito Santo is a very good coach, who had a poor campaign last season.
He has had relative success at the majority of the clubs he has coached. He has also signed several young players in his time at Molineux, which fits in with the transfer policy of Everton director of football Marcel Brands.
