Former England and Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce has said he would consider any approach from Everton to become their new boss, and also spoke of interest in the United States national team.
Everton under-23s coach David Unsworth has been put in temporary charge following Ronald Koeman's sacking.
But Unsworth has lost his first two matches in charge, going out of the Carabao Cup to Chelsea and losing at Leicester to leave the Merseysiders in the bottom three of the Premier League.
Allardyce, out of work since leaving Palace in May, has built a reputation on saving troubled teams and sources previously told ESPN FC that he was in line to be considered for the job at Goodison Park.
And he told BeIN Sports: "Who knows? I'd have to consider that, if that phone call happens. There's no point in speculating at the moment, David Unsworth is in the chair.
"Joe [Royle], sat upstairs will have an opinion, but at the moment it looks like it's really going to be tough for Everton to get out of that position.
"They know what the problems are, they just perhaps want a bit of guidance now how to rectify those problems.
"I've been in this position a number of times in the last three clubs I've had and I'd just put the team back to basics."
Allardyce also confirmed his interest in the vacant U.S. job, saying: "At the international level I think I would be interested in talking to [U.S. Soccer] if I had the opportunity.
"It's a fantastic country, it's been trying to make football more and more successful every year and I think that obviously I think the big clubs have been going there for a long time now in the preseason friendlies, these big friendlies.
"So the fanbase is getting bigger and the interest is getting greater so it would interest me, yes."
Allardyce admitted he didn't know very much about the U.S. squad, but added: "It wouldn't take me long to find out and see if I can make them better because obviously they haven't qualified for next year's World Cup."
