Shanghai SIPG coach Vitor Pereira is a candidate to replace Marco Silva at EvertonEverton are continuing to assess candidates to succeed sacked Marco Silva on a permanent basis despite caretaker boss Duncan Ferguson's flying start - with Shanghai SIPG coach Vitor Pereira high on their list. Everton owner Farhad Moshiri was delighted with how Ferguson had such an instant impact on their fortunes but it is still their intention to appoint a permanent manager as soon as possible. Former Everton manager David Moyes has also been discussed, although his chances appear to be receding. Following his successes at Porto, Pereira, 51, impressed Everton when he was interviewed in 2013 before Roberto Martinez was appointed as successor to Moyes. Everton want the new man in quickly, but equally there is no sense of emergency either after Ferguson's spectacular start.
