Jose Mourinho to Everton?! Toffees make decision on ‘Special One’ after firing Sean Dyche before FA Cup tie with Peterborough..

Everton have apparently decided whether or not to employ Jose Mourinho after sacking Sean Dyche hours before their third-round FA Cup match. What happened? Everton made the decision to fire former Burnley manager Dyche on Thursday afternoon, with an FA Cup match against Peterborough United just hours away. According to The Athletic, Fenerbahce boss Mourinho is ‘not in contention’ to take over the Toffees, who are now 16th in the Premier League.

THE BIGGER PICTURE This decision comes less than a month after The Friedkin Group finalised its buyout of Everton owner Farhad Moshiri, who was not a popular figure on Merseyside. According to The Telegraph, former Toffees manager David Moyes is set to be highly considered for the vacant post, but ex-Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has been “ruled out” because he was previously ousted by the Friedkin Group during his stint at Roma.
