Everton have contacted Marcelo Bielsa as they look to replace Roberto Martinez, according to Goal Brazil.
Martinez has come under immense pressure from Evertonians as the Blues currently sit 14th in the Premier League.
Everton have reached two semi-finals in both the Capital One Cup and the Emirates FA Cup, but their poor league form has led to widespread criticism of the Catalonian.
According to the article, Everton contacted ex-Marseille manager Bielsa and had a ‘positive’ response as the Argentinian looks for a move to the Premier League after also being linked with Swansea City in recent weeks. Reports also state that Bielsa has rejected moves to Brazil and Spain in the hope of working in England in the near future.
The Argentine is a renowned disciplinarian, unlike Martinez, and squeezes everything he can out of the squad he has.
Although it will be debated whether Marcelo Bielsa is the man to take Everton forward, the most significant information from this story is that the Blues may be on the lookout for a new manager, signifying the beginning of the end for Roberto Martinez.
