Kevin Campbell predicts a “change” of manager for Everton this summer.
Kevin Campbell has told Sky Sports he does not believe that Sam Allardyce will lead Everton into next season.
The former England boss was named as Ronald Koeman’s successor in November and he has succeeded in steering the then-relegation-threatened Toffees away from danger.
Despite being eighth in the Premier League table, Everton fans haven’t taken to Allardyce over his style of football and lack of faith in young players, after the highly-rated Ademola Lookman was shipped off to RB Leipzig on loan in January.
The Goodison Park side are linked with Paulo Fonseca and Marco Silva – two names which cropped up after Koeman’s axing – and the club’s former hitman Campbell is confident that there will be a change in manager this summer.
He told Sky Sports: “I think Sam Allardyce has done the job he’s meant to do by coming in and solidifying the club but taking it forward.
“I don’t think the fans really take to him. I don’t think they ever will and I think there’s going to be a change in the summer because Everton are a year behind in their game plan.”
Everton spent over £150 million on transfers last summer and the fact that they are 28 points adrift of the top four will hurt owner Farhad Moshiri, who will surely throw more money at the problem this time around in a bid to rectify the regression on Merseyside.
