Nine trophy winning manager linked to Everton previously stated desire to manage in the Premier League

Carlo Ancelotti‘s move to Real Madrid after a season and a half at Everton has forced the club to look for a new coach in the market. With many clubs chopping and changing coaches this summer, this means that many coaches are available to be snapped up by clubs and one name that floats around is Paulo Fonseca.
Many names are being floated around for the role of coaching at Everton. The Portuguese who is linked with Everton job, finished his 2-year spell at Roma in 2021 and is now on the market. Fonseca has previously stated in an interview for the Telegraph that he is open to managing in the Premier League.

The Royal Blues lost out on the UEFA Conference League after finishing 3 points behind Tottenham Hotspur, ultimately finishing in 10th. A disappointing season for the Toffees considering their explosive start to the 2020-21 season when they were 1st in the Premier League table till November. Inconsistent form and an unfortunate injury crisis really tested Everton’s squad depth this season.

Everton linked Paulo Fonseca was highly successful in Portugal and Ukraine
It is safe to say that Fonseca is a good tactician. He has won 9 trophies in his 16 year-long coaching career, with an impressive stint at Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine where he achieved a domestic double for 3 years straight. His time in Roma saw the Rome based club finish 5th in his first season in charge and 7th in his second season as well as reaching the UEFA Europa League semi-finals in the 2020-21 season.
He helped build an attacking Roma side that are fun to watch. Getting the best out of an ageing squad. The Premier League is a place where success isn’t guaranteed due to the high level of competition among different clubs, which also means that the underdog sides can stun the big teams of England to win trophies and qualify for the European spots.

The Royal Blues are right now in that phase where they can be called as an underdog side that just needs a little more stability and identity to rival the big clubs in the Premier League.
With that being said this looks like a match made in heaven for both the parties involved. A new challenge is surely something that would intrigue Fonseca and the Merseysiders provide just that, he can build a foundation for years to come if he decides to join the Toffees.
With funds potentially coming in through the transfer budget as well as sales of some players at the club and new faces needed, Fonseca can choose a new identity and build a squad according to his vision. Rejuvenation is needed if a European spot is to be achieved next season for the Toffees and Fonseca can be just the man to deliver it at the Merseyside.
