Cristiano Ronaldo beat Lionel Messi to the FIFA best player award

The race to be next Everton manager is hotting up with a host of names in the frame after the Toffees sacked Ronald Koeman yesterday.

The Dutchman spent big in the summer but failed to deliver on the pitch with currently bottom of their Europa League group and 18th domestically.

Express Sport can reveal Burnley boss Sean Dyche is leading the charge for the Goodison Park hot-seat, although manager-less Leicester are also seeking his services.

However, The Mirror suggest former Borussia Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel is top of Everton’s wish-list while the Daily Star claim Ryan Giggs fancies his chances taking over from Koeman.
