Marcelo Bielsa arrives in London for talks with Everton on manager role
Former Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa has arrived in London for discussions on the vacant managerial position at Everton with the club’s hierarchy.
The 67-year-old is understood to have reservations about the competency of the squad to play his high-tempo style of football as well as taking over half way through the season.
However Bielsa arrived at London Heathrow earlier on Thursday suggesting a deal could be close.
It is being reported the Toffees are keen to appoint a manager by the weekend with ex-Burnley manager Sean Dyche also selected among a shortlist of candidates.
Everton are on the hunt for their eigth manager in seven years after sacking Frank Lampard after Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at West Ham.
The Toffees are currently 19th in the league with 15 points from 20 games having won just three matches all season.
They face league-leaders Arsenal at Goodison Park next Saturday.
