Everton have made contact with Jose Mourinho about leaving Roma and taking the Goodison Park job.

Everton sacked Rafa Benitez yesterday and currently have no replacement lined up.

The Telegraph says Everton approached Mourinho, but he turned them down immediately. He only made the move to Roma over the summer.

Mourinho also was linked with Tottenham after the dismissal of Nuno before they turned to Antonio Conte.

Former Roma coach Paulo Fonseca is also being linked with the Everton job, having been considered before they turned to Benitez.
