Manuel Pellegrini is in the frame to replace Roberto Martinez at Everton
Roberto Martinez is under increasing pressure at Everton with fans turning against the Spaniard.
Martinez is just 3/1 to leave Everton after their 4-0 Merseyside derby hammering to bitter rivals Liverpool last night.
David Moyes is the bookmakers' favourite (4/1) to replace the 42-year-old at Goodison Park.
But Argentinian coach Marco Bielsa (6/1) and
Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini (10/1) are also frontrunners with
Ladbrokes.
And according to Chilean publication
CDF.CL, Everton's new billionaire owner Moshiri is 'really interested' in hiring Pellegrini.
The Chilean boss will leave City at the end of the season, with Pep Guardiola taking over.
Pellegrini wants to remain in the Premier League and was touted as a Chelsea target before Antonio Conte took that job.
The 62-year-old's representative Jesus Martinez has said: "Manuel is happy in English football, he would like to stay in the Premier League."
It is claimed Southampton are also interested in Pellegrini, but may struggle to meet his wage demands.
