Caretaker boss David Unsworth expects Everton's board to appoint a new manager during the international break.

"It's as it was," Unsworth said when asked about his future.

"I spoke to the chairman last night (Thursday). I speak to the chairman every day, which is great and he's been a great support - so have all the board members, who have been with us all the way through this last couple of weeks.

"Everybody has been fantastic. Communication has been great and hopefully we'll all sit down and sort out what is best for the club in the international break.

"No indication [has been given to me about my future] but the sooner it is resolved the better it is for everybody.

"I've said it in a couple of press conferences that it's not about me. I stand here proud to be Everton manger but it's about what's best for the club."
