Graham Potter to Everton: Dan Friedkin looks at double new appointment
Dan Friedkin is considering appointing both Graham Potter and Dan Ashworth at Everton, according to Paul Brown.
The journalist has reported (7 January) that amid speculation surrounding the future of Sean Dyche at Everton, the Blues chief has considered the possibility of a double appointment at Goodison Park.
Dyche remains in his post as manager currently and has been present at Finch Farm on Tuesday although with just one point separating his side from the regulation zone, his time with the club could be coming to an end.
Ashworth is out of work after leaving his role as Manchester United’s sporting director at the start of December.
Graham Potter and Dan Ashworth could join Everton
It’s no surprise to see TFG starting to act now upon their decisions over Dyche’s future at the club with reports [The Times, 6 January] that West Ham are also looking at Potter as a potential Julen Lopetegui replacement.
The Independent have reported (7 January) that Potter could be tempted by the vacancy at Goodison and with the current boss also out of contract with the Blues at the end of the season, the new owners will not be keen to miss out on their ideal replacement at this stage, especially with the Toffees struggling in the league.
Furthermore, a double appointment of the 49-year-old alongside Ashworth would certainly be a signal of intent from the Everton owners about the new era in Merseyside.
Despite his recent departure from Manchester United, Ashworth has been seen as hot property in the Premier League and will have an eye for the sort of players Potter would be keen to coach especially given the pair worked so successfully together at Brighton.
It is imperative the Toffees remain a top-flight club and if they do they can look towards a much more optimistic future and this is a double appointment that would certainly reflect the start of a new era for the Toffees.
In other Everton news, the Blues will match the bid made by one of Europe’s giants to seal a highly-rated transfer this month.
