Everton 'have offered Roberto Martinez the manager's job on an interim basis' after they sacked Rafael Benitez over the weekend.
It would mark a sensational return to Goodison Park for the Belgium boss, who managed them between 2013 and 2016.
Martinez, 48, is reportedly in conversation with the Belgian FA about the offer though his current employers would rather he reject the offer and concentrate on this year's World Cup in Qatar rather than manage a club too.
The Athletic also report that the Spaniard would like Thierry Henry, his No 2 with Belgium, to join him at Everton as his assistant.
