Everton are said to be lining up a summer move for Shakhtar Donetsk boss Paulo Fonseca.
Everton may be at risk of missing out on reported managerial target Paulo Fonseca.
However, Fonseca’s reputation is continuing to grow – as Shakhtar’s progress in the Champions League has been remarkable.
The Ukrainian side have not only made it through their group, but they also beat Roma in the first-leg of their knockout tie last night.
Shakhtar beat Roma 2-1 yesterday, with Fonseca’s reputation continuing to grow.
Fonseca is now sure to be on the radar of a huge range of clubs across Europe, and it may mean that Everton’s chances of landing him are becoming more and more slim.
While Everton is still an appealing project, they may not have the lure of European football next season, and Fonseca’s growing reputation could lead to more high profile clubs being interested.
And Everton would be wise to have a back-up plan in place, in case they have missed their opportunity to land Fonseca.
