DAVID MOYES is favourite to return to Everton and replace Marco Silva.
The Portuguese has had a torrid season at Goodison Park, with four Premier League wins in 13 games.
Moyes was at the helm for 11 years from 2002 to 2013 before he replaced Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.
But his stint at Old Trafford turned out to be ill-fated and he was sacked before the end of the 2013-14 season.
Ladbrokes have Moyes at Evens to replace Silva.
Other managerial contenders include Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe, as well as former Toffees midfielder Mikel Arteta.
Howe, 41, has steered the Cherries through the divisions and has kept them in the top flight for the past four seasons.
Arteta has impressed as Pep Guardiola’s assistant at Manchester City, where they have won two league titles.
The Spaniard retired from playing when at Arsenal in 2016, five years after leaving Everton, where he played from 2005 to 2011.
Arteta is a short 4/1 while Howe a longer 8/1 for the role.
Meanwhile contenders such as axed former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino (16/1) and Arsenal legend Arsene Wenger (20/1) stand out from the list of contenders.
Unemployed former Bayern Munich boss Niko Kovac might also fancy a crack at Premier League football after winning last season’s Bundesliga.
And the former Croatia boss is at 8/1, the same price as Mark Hughes, as well as former Liverpool and Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez.
Current Prem bosses Chris Wilder (10/1) of Sheffield United, Sean Dyche of Burnley (16/1), Daniel Farke of Norwich (20/1) and Graham Potter of Brighton (33/1) are all in the frame.
