Duncan Ferguson has been placed in temporary charge of Everton after Farhad Moshiri, the club’s majority shareholder, made Marco Silva his fourth managerial sacking in under four years. David Moyes is the leading candidate to succeed Silva with Tim Cahill under consideration to become the former Everton manager’s assistant. Ferguson, a first-team coach under several Everton managers, was asked to take temporary charge following a chaotic day that had Moshiri visit Silva in person at the club’s training complex. Duncan Ferguson has taken temporary charge of the first team and will manage the side for the game against Chelsea on Saturday. Everton’s board, of which Brands is a part, has been divided on sacking Silva, and his potential replacements, for several weeks.
