Next Everton Manager Odds: After David Moyes

Rooney played for Everton at the start of his career and he then later returned to Goodison Park towards the end of his playing days before moving into management. His record as a coach has been a mixed bag so far, having done well under trying circumstances at Derby County before being sacked by Birmingham City just three months after taking charge.

He started slowly at Plymouth Argyle but an upturn in form saw him nominated for the Championship manager of the month award after leading the Home Park away from the relegation zone and into mid-table.

England's record goalscorer until Harry Kane usurped him, Rooney would likely need to impress further at Plymouth to earn a job in the Premier League, but Everton links put him in the mix.

Another former Toffees player who could be shortlisted is Carsley, who took charge of England on an interim basis after the departure of Gareth Southgate in the wake of Euro 2024.

Carsley's performance in the Nations League was mixed, with England suffering a shock loss at home to Greece before bouncing back with twin wins as he signed off to allow Thomas Tuchel to move in. Carsley is expected to return to the England Under-21s, but would he fancy a club job?

Another available manager with a lot of Premier League experience to call on, ex-Chelsea and Brighton boss Potter has confirmed he is now ready to take on his next managerial challenge.

Potter is linked with every vacancy that arises in the Premier League and his name would be sure to be in the frame whenever the next Everton manager betting odds are published.

The Friedkin Group has previously employed Mourinho at Roma and the Portuguese coach won them a European trophy.

Mourinho has since suggested that he would like another crack at the Premier League having since swapped Italy for Turkey, so could the Everton job appeal to him?

Southgate has said he wants a long break after leaving England and it will be interesting to see his next move.

Links with the Manchester United job came to nothing after Ruben Amorim was named Erik ten Hag's successor.

Southgate is likely to become a firm fixture in manager betting odds markets once he announces the end of his sabbatical and is ready for a return.

Everton were strongly linked with Bielsa the last time the job came up and the former Leeds United boss could be of interest again whenever a replacement for Dyche needs to be found.

But Bielsa is now manager of the Uruguay national team and it could be hard to lure him away from South America, especially given the fact there is a nearby World Cup on the horizon soon. 

Bielsa might feel as though he has unfinished business in the Premier League after leaving Leeds in 2022, but like Moyes the veteran is surely approaching the end of his coaching career.

Former RB Leipzig and Southampton boss Hasenhuttl is another manager to have been linked with Everton before, but that was prior to the Friedkin Group assuming control of the club. The Austrian is back in the Bundesliga with VfL Wolfsburg, where he took charge in March 2024.

Corberan has performed well in the Championship with West Brom and he is regularly linked with jobs. Everton might be the club to give him a shot at managing in the Premier League but there is no doubt it would be a step up.

Former England left-back Baines would be an obvious internal candidate and a likely interim choice, following in the footsteps of club icons such as David Unsworth and Duncan Ferguson.

Baines played 420 times for Everton but he would be a bold choice given he has only worked as a youth team coach so far.

The Friedkin Group have shown willingness to hand inexperienced club legends jobs before, having put Daniele De Rossi in charge of Roma in the past.
