Roberts, an assistant coach at the Women's Super League side for more than three years, will lead the team this weekend alongside Claire Ditchburn. BBC Sport understands that former Scotland manager Shelley Kerr and England youth team manager Mo Marley are among those Everton have made contact with regarding the vacancy.
