Former Everton star believes club’s board may axe Koeman soon

Kevin Kilbane believes Ronald Koeman faces an uphill battle to avoid the sack at Everton.

The Dutchman is the odds-on favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave his position following Craig Shakespeare’s exit from Leicester City.

Kilbane told the BBC that he thinks Koeman will find it difficult to improve Everton’s fortunes over the coming weeks.

“The team’s confidence is clearly low, which is something the manager can address, but their other big issue is a lack of creativity – and I don’t know where that will come from at present,” he said.
