Duncan Ferguson will be in charge for Everton’s visit to Manchester United on Sunday as the club continues its search for a permanent successor to Marco Silva.
Ferguson lifted the gloom around Goodison Park and Everton out of the relegation zone with Saturday’s stirring 3-1 victory over Chelsea. He had expected to be in temporary charge for one game only but, having taken training since Tuesday, the first-team coach will remain at the helm at Old Trafford.
A club statement said: “Ferguson will again be assisted by coaches John Ebbrell and Francis Jeffers and goalkeeper coach Alan Kelly.”
Farhad Moshiri, Everton’s majority shareholder, and the chairman, Bill Kenwright, have held talks with several candidates to replace Silva this week although one, Vítor Pereira, is out of the running having received an improved contract offer from his employers, Shanghai SIPG. The Portuguese coach is in line for a £25m-a-year deal in China.
David Moyes has held discussions with the Everton hierarchy over a return to the club and could be installed on an interim basis initially. Carlo Ancelotti, who is also on Everton’s shortlist, is available following his surprise sacking by Napoli.
