Everton boss Koeman: I'm the right man in charge

Everton boss Ronald Koeman insists he's the right man in charge.

After defeat to Burnley, Everton are 16th in the table after the opening seven games but the Dutchman says his players showed enough “commitment" and “aggression" to convince him they will turn their form around.

Asked if he was the right man for the job, Koeman replied: “Yeah but I don't answer about this type of question because it is not the business at this moment."

Koeman continues to dispute the idea that Everton's performance should be judged on the amount of money they spent in transfer fees this summer.

"We have a lot of young players in the squad performing for Everton and that is the way we like to continue and, of course, we have to improve and win games, I know that it is no question, what I do is try to get the best out of the players and if there is no commitment, no aggression that's maybe a reason to think about my future but I saw today I thank the players for the commitment they played with today.

“We will continue, I will do my job, and try to do the best for my job and all the stuff and the questions are not in my hands."
