The Italian is being evaluated currently by the Toffees and a decision will be made in the coming days, report .

The report also suggests Everton are keen on another Italian, Claudio Ranieri.

Ranieri last managed in the Premier League in 2017 when he was sacked by Leicester City just nine months after winning the league.

However, SunSport exclusively revealed Nuno Espirito Santo is in the running to take over from Carlo Ancelotti, who departed for Real Madrid this week.

There are believed to be several candidates to take over at Goodison Park.
