Koeman 'doesn't talk rubbish' - Southall

Ronald Koeman is a fitting Everton manager, unlike some of his predecessors, Neville Southall has told Omnisport.

Neville Southall has offered a glowing review of new Everton manager Ronald Koeman, without missing an opportunity to aim a parting shot at Roberto Martinez.

Dutchman Koeman left Southampton to take over at Goodison Park in June, the three-year reign of Martinez having ended in the sack after an underwhelming 2015-16 campaign.

Former Toffees goalkeeper Southall likes what he has seen from the new man in the hot seat.

And the ex-Wales international, an outspoken critic of Martinez last season, could not resist making what appeared to be a criticism of the effusive Spaniard, who has since taken over Belgium's national team.
