Everton need to tread carefully in this summer’s managerial minefield
Everton fans in the stands ahead of the Premier League match at Goodison Park, Liverpool

They are joined in this pickle by fellow Premier League sides Tottenham and Crystal Palace, who are yet to replace Jose Mourinho and Roy Hodgson respectively, as well as a number of clubs on the continent.

These include French Ligue 1 champions Lille whose title-winning manager Christophe Galtier has been linked with the vacancy at Everton but has long been tipped to take over at Nice.
