Everton have seen plenty of managers come and go in recent years, but finally look to have the right man for the job.

David Moyes has transformed the fortunes on Merseyside after Saturday’s win has dragged the Toffees up to 13th spot in the table.

In three months back at the club, Moyes has only lost two games in the Premier League with Everton.

Jamie Carragher and Thierry Henry praised Everton’s tactics after Moyes kept the Blues fighting for the win deep into stoppage time.

Although the likes of Sean Dyche are yet to do anything of note since leaving the club, there are some managers to have left Everton and gone on to succeed.

And there is one, in particular, who is being eyed by Tottenham Hotspur as their potential successor for the struggling Ange Postecoglou.

Tottenham eyeing former Everton manager Marco Silva

There are a lot of Everton fans who’d have Marco Silva back after his impressive stint in London with Fulham.

According to David Ornstein, Spurs are now eyeing the 47-year-old as their possible replacement for Postecoglou this summer.

The Australian’s future in north London appears to be reliant on Thursday’s Europa League clash against Eintracht Frankfurt.

“If they are to make they alteration, names such as: Andoni Iraola who we’ve spoken about there. Marco Silva who we will see against him tonight [Monday]. Of Oliver Glasner who is impressive so much at Crystal Palace,” said Ornstein.

“There will be plenty more in the frame if there is to be a vacancy there because Tottenham is such an attractive club.”

Since leaving Merseyside, Silva has slammed Everton fans for their lack of belief during his time at the club.

To be fair to Silva, he has gone on to prove himself elsewhere following Farhad Moshiri’s decision to sack him.

Gary Lineker has praised Silva for the work he has shown during his time at Fulham.

Silva has been able to drag the Cottagers up into the top half in what has been a turbulent Premier League campaign on the whole.

The Toffees have actually lost the same number of games as Fulham, but the Londoners have been able to put more wins on the board.

Jamie Carragher has also hailed Silva as a top manager after what he has seen this season.

Everton fans will be delighted with the work Moyes has done since January, but there have been a great deal of issues in the dugout since they moved on from Silva.
