Ronald Koeman was sacked by Everton’s hierarchy on Monday.
Mauricio Pochettino would be Kevin Campbell’s choice as Everton manager.
Kevin Campbell has revealed that Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino would be his choice to fill the void left by Ronald Koeman after the latter was sacked by Everton on Monday.
Koeman, 54, was given his marching orders by Everton as the Merseyside outfit currently sit way down in 18th place and in danger of failing to qualify for the knockout stages of the Europa League from Group E.

Replying to a fan on his personal Twitter account, Everton icon and former striker Campbell stated that he would look to lure Pochettino to Goodison Park if given the choice, even though the Argentine is currently flying high with Tottenham.
Former Southampton manager Pochettino has transformed Tottenham from battling to make it into the top four of the Premier League, to serious title contenders at the summit of the division.
However, Pochettino is certainly an unrealistic option for the Toffees, who remain far behind Spurs in terms of stature and quality, while the 45-year-old has a contract in north London until the summer of 2021.
The Daily Mail described Burnley manager Sean Dyche as an “overwhelming favourite” to take the job, while BBC Sport claim former Toffees star Phil Neville is also interested in the job.
