Luis Boa Morte has been named new assistant manager of Everton.

He has replaced Joao Pedro Sousa, who left Goodison Park to become coach of Portuguese side Famalicao.

The 41-year-old, who played for the likes of Arsenal, Fulham and West Ham, has joined the Toffees from Israeli side Maccabi Haifa, where he was also assistant manager.

"I'm very happy to be joining Everton, a big club with so much history and tradition," said Boa Morte, who previously worked with manager Marco Silva at Sporting Lisbon.

"I'm excited to be working again with the manager, Marco Silva, who is a great coach and I would like to thank him for providing me with such a big opportunity.

"I'm looking forward to meeting all the players and staff at the club when we return for pre-season training next month and start the preparations for the 2019/20 Premier League season."
