Former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo is the strong favourite to be named as Everton's new manager.
Talks with Everton have progressed after the 47-year-old's negotiations with Crystal Palace broke down.
He was on a shortlist to succeed Carlo Ancelotti along with West Ham manager David Moyes.
Former Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez was also discussed.
Moyes has agreed a new contract at West Ham and it now looks like Nuno will make a swift Premier League return at Everton, replacing Italian Ancelotti who left the Toffees to return to Real Madrid.
