David Moyes is in talks with Everton about a potential return to Goodison Park following the sacking of Sean Dyche.
While no agreement has been finalized, the Scotsman is considered the leading candidate, with negotiations set to continue on Friday.
Everton dismissed Dyche on Thursday, with the club sitting 16th in the Premier League, just one point above the relegation zone, and only three wins in 19 league matches this season.
Moyes, who managed Everton from 2002 to 2013, has been out of work since leaving West Ham last season, where he guided the team to the Europa Conference League title in 2023.
The 60-year-old recently stated he is not ready to retire but prefers to avoid roles involving relegation battles.
“Football is in my blood. I love watching and being part of it,” said Moyes, who was appointed an OBE in the New Year Honours list for his contributions to the sport.
