# Everton consider move for MLS manager to replace Allardyce

Everton have reportedly considered Patrick Vieira as a potential replacement for Sam Allardyce ahead of next season.

According to an exclusive report from [Metro](https://metro.co.uk/2018/05/05/everton-consider-making-approach-to-arsenal-legend-patrick-vieira-to-succeed-sam-allardyce-7523661/), the Toffees are weighing up their options for the summer as they prepare to axe Allardyce at the end of the campaign.

Vieira has been building a reputation for himself in management with MLS outfit New York City FC in recent times, and it seems he has done enough to see his name mentioned for a potential role in the Premier League.

It’s claimed that Everton are looking to make their next managerial appointment with the view of discovering a young and exciting coach to progress the club and push them further forward, with European football still on the Toffees’ agenda.

However, Vieira is named as only one of a number of potential candidates for the role, with the managerial post at Everton a heavily scrutinised position at this moment in time.
