Everton hope to name their new manager inside the next fortnight.

The Mail on Sunday says Everton are keen to make a decision in the next 10 days with so many issues up in the air regarding next season.

Star names John Stones and Romelu Lukaku are almost certain to leave and the next manager has to decide how to spend the likely £90million revenue.

A number of players including long-serving duo Leon Osman and Tony Hibbert, Steven Pienaar and Darron Gibson are also out of contract and awaiting to see if they will receive new offers.

Former manager Joe Royle, who returned to the club in 2014 to help with scouting and the academy, may be retained as a figurehead but won't wield any power at first-team level.
