'Stop looking far, Everton' - Amokachi picks former teammate Ferguson as Ancelotti's successor

The Toffees are currently without a manager after their Italian coach left them for a return to the Santiago Bernabeu this week

Nigeria legend Daniel Amokachi has advised Everton to consider the appointment of Duncan Ferguson as their new manager following Carlo Ancelotti’s return to Real Madrid.

The 49-year-old Scot has been developing his coaching skills on Merseyside since 2014 and he was handed an interim role as the first-team coach after the dismissal of Marco Silva in December 2019.

During the short spell before Ancelotti's arrival at Goodison Park that same month, Ferguson maintained an unbeaten Premier League record as Everton defeated Chelsea 3-1, and they drew against Arsenal and Manchester United in a busy festive period.
