Everton have made a poor start to the new Premier League season, and Ronald Koeman appears to be coming up pressure.
According to a report from The Telegraph, Everton majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri plans to give Ronald Koeman more time to turn things around at Goodison Park, but is still expecting the Toffees to qualify for Europe next season.
Everton have made a poor start to the new Premier League season. Following the 4-0 defeat away at Manchester United on Sunday, Koeman’s men find themselves in the bottom three with just two goals scored and 10 conceded after five games.
With £130 million spent in the summer – as reported by The Telegraph – some Everton fans appear to be beginning to question whether Koeman is the right man to turn the club’s fortunes around.
However, it appears that Koeman still retains the full support of the board currently, with The Telegraph reporting that Moshiri has no plans to make any rash decisions on the former Southampton boss’ future.
Moshiri understands that Koeman is working with a drastically different squad that will need time to gel following the transfer window, and The Telegraph reports that the board are sympathetic given that they failed to replace former talisman Romelu Lukaku during the summer.
The Telegraph adds that the Toffees are keen to sign a new striker in the January window, but with European qualification seemingly a key goal for the side this season, Koeman should perhaps feel that Everton’s fortunes need to begin to turn around before that window to give them a chance of achieving the ambitions for the campaign.
