Everton chairman Bill Kenwright has a shortlist of names to succeed David Moyes as he prepares to leave for Manchester United.
The Daily Mail says Phil Neville is a serious contender.
Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez is very much top of the shortlist but other names in the frame are Celtic manager Neil Lennon, who is keen to leave Celtic as he faces the prospect of his transfer budget being cut this summer, former Everton player Mark Hughes and Martin O'Neill. Michael Laudrup also has admirers at Goodison.
