Everton recently sacked Rafael Benitez from his post as the manager of the club after a dismal run of results which saw the Toffees lose nine of their last 13 Premier League matches.
The Merseyside outfit are now looking for a new manager and they have apparently made a formal approach for their former boss Roberto Martinez.
The Spaniard is currently managing the Belgian national team and Everton’s attempt to bring him back to the Premier League has hit a roadblock.
According to a report from the Guardian, the Belgian Football Association has rejected a proposal from Everton which would have seen Martinez combine his role and manage the Belgium national team as well as the Premier League club.
