David Unsworth won’t be the next permanent Everton manager.
A bold statement? Perhaps. But Unsworth can take little encouragement from his discussions with majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri on Thursday.
Unsworth has been placed in temporary charge following Ronald Koeman’s dismissal, but he couldn’t spark a change in Everton’s fortunes as they lost 2-1 at Chelsea in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
The 44-year-old told the Liverpool Echo that Moshiri had failed to give him any assurances over his future.
“We spoke about the team, the performance at Chelsea and the next few games coming up,” said Unsworth.
