Kovac denies he's in running for Everton job despite attending Chelsea game

Niko Kovac has distanced himself from links with the Everton job despite the former Bayern Munich manager being in attendance at Goodison Park for the Toffees' meeting with Chelsea.

The Croatian was sacked by Bayern back in November following a humiliating 5-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt, with Hansi Flick having stepped in as interim boss until the end of the 2019-20 campaign.

Kovac took over from the legendary Jupp Heynckes in the summer 2018 and guided the Bavarians to a league and cup double in his first season at the club.
