Moyes Potential Replacement

Everton eye Porto boss Pereira as potential Moyes successor

Everton are keeping close tabs on Porto manager Vitor Pereira as they prepare for the possible exit of David Moyes in the summer, Goal.com understands.

Goodison Park chairman Bill Kenwright is an admirer of the Portuguese, who was a guest of the club at a Premier League match over the Christmas period.
Roberto Martinez is also high on Everton's wish list if Moyes decides to quit the Merseysiders at the end of the season.
The Scot has said he will wait to see how the campaign ends before he commits himself to negotiations about extending his contract, which expires in June.

Kenwright admitted last week that the uncertainty over Moyes has left the club in a difficult position.

"[Moyes] has made a simple statement: 'Give me to the end of the season'. He knows in making that statement it is not the easiest one for the football club and he's acknowledged that to me," the Everton chairman said.

"Hopefully in seven weeks' time when the last match has been played we will sit down and have the five minutes that David has alluded to for the last six months or so, that will sort out a new contract, a new adventure and keep David Moyes at Everton.

"If it doesn’t, the man leaves with his head held high."

Although Kenwright has claimed no plans are in place for what would be the club's first change of manager in 11 years, it is understood that an informal list of possible successors is being compiled.

Martinez is much admired by Everton chiefs for maintaining Wigan's Premier League status on a shoestring budget, while Pereira has also emerged as a potential target.

The 44-year-old steered Porto to the league title during his first season at the helm and the club are unbeaten in the Portuguese Liga this season even though they lie four points adrift of leaders Benfica.


Pereira, who cut his management teeth in the Portuguese lower leagues before spending a season as Andre Villas-Boas' No.2 during Porto's 2010-11 treble-winning campaign, won plaudits for leading Porto out of the Champions League group stages this season before they were eliminated at the last-16 stage by Malaga last month.
Everton and Monaco are among the clubs believed to be closely monitoring his situation at Porto.

Pereira's current two-year contract expires in the summer and it is understood that talks have not yet begun on a new deal.

Stubbsy and Rooney OMG It might just work. Vive la revolution.

It won't work mate, we can't appoint Stubbs just to get Rooney back, would be a very stupid move.

Klinsmann has been a mixed bag for the US National Team. A few months ago some players were quietly criticizing him behind closed doors. It was looking pretty bad towards the end of 2012, despite an away win at Mexico City for the first time in US history. After a draw in Mexico for WC qualifiers and a win against Costa Rica he has been looking like a Manager that has been getting things right.

Google Klinsmann(cant post links yet) and you'll see an article that was just posted on his connection to Everton on MLS Soccer.

KLINSMANN IN SPURS BUY-OUT

Aug 26 2007 By Neil Silver

EXCLUSIVE Ex-star leading amazing American takeover bid

Former Tottenham striker Jurgen Klinsmann is to lead an American bid to buy the club.

A consortium in California, where Klinsmann now lives, wants him as their front man - with the promise that he can totally revamp the football side of White Hart Lane when they take over.

The word from inside the north London club is that chairman Daniel Levy, feeling the fallout from the Juande Ramos debacle, is ready to sell.



Bring the consortium along with you Jurgen!

Definitely doesn't sound like the man we need.

i cant see it happening anyway, his family lives in California. And he didn't move them when he was in charge of germany.
