Koeman: Jagielka And Baines Live For Everton
Ronald Koeman says Phil Jagielka and Leighton Baines “live for Everton” and will be “key players” in the Club’s future.
Captain Jagielka and deputy skipper Baines both joined the Blues in summer 2007 and on Tuesday night were feted at a Goodison Park event celebrating the 10th anniversary of their Goodison arrivals.
The duo were key figures under Koeman’s two immediate predecessors as boss, David Moyes and Roberto Martinez, and the Dutchman has similarly installed Baines and Jagielka as cornerstones of his team.
