Sam Allardyce is back under consideration for the Everton job, reports BBC Sport.
The club's search for a new manager has taken on fresh urgency after Sunday's 4-1 defeat at Southampton.
Allardyce was an early candidate to succeed Ronald Koeman, who was sacked on 23 October, but publicly withdrew after Everton delayed making an offer.
Everton have lost five out of seven games since Koeman left.
