Everton has announced that David Unsworth will take temporary charge of the first-team beginning with Wednesday's EFL Cup tie at Chelsea following Ronald Koeman's sacking .
Koeman was dismissed on Monday in the wake of Sunday's 5-2 hammering by Arsenal , leaving Everton in the relegation zone despite spending a reported £142million in the close-season.
Everton has won just two of its first nine league matches, while it also sits bottom of its Europa League group.
Unsworth, who is in charge of Everton's Under-23s, played the best past of 11 years at Goodison Park across two spells and has been linked to the club in a coaching capacity since 2013.
He will likely be hoping to stake his claim for taking the role permanently, but Burnley manager Sean Dyche is considered the favourite.
