Roberto Martinez tipped for Everton return as Rafa Benitez’s replacement
Martinez has previously spent time with Everton from 2013 to 2016.
Former Everton boss Roberto Martinez has been tipped for a return to Goodison Park as Rafa Benitez’s replacement.
Everton recently sacked Benitez from the post of the manager despite being just six months into a three-year contract on Merseyside.
Everton started the campaign on a good note under Benitez but in the last 12 matches, they lost 9 games and won just one. It was a poor form for the Toffees and the board took this decision.
Everton Football Club can confirm the departure of Rafael Benitez as first team manager.
