Everton are looking for a new coach to aid Marco Silva.
According to Record, Luis Boa Morte could join Everton as part of Marco Silva’s staff after Joao Pedro Sousa’s departure.
The Toffees are mostly focusing on transfers as they prepare to get busy in the summer window, but Silva needs a new assistant coach at Goodison Park.
Sousa has left Everton to become a manager in his own right, taking over at Portuguese side Famalicao following their promotion to the top flight.
That leaves Everton with a hole to fill in Silva’s staff, and Record in Portugal report that Luis Boa Morte is a surprise name in the frame for the job.
Boa Morte, 41, will be remembered by many for his playing days, as he featured in the Premier League as a winger for Arsenal, Southampton, Fulham and West Ham United.
Since then, Boa Morte has turned his hand to scouting for Arsenal and to coaching, working as Sporting’s Under-19 boss in the 2014-15 season, beneath Silva.
Boa Morte took charge of Sintrense, a third division Portuguese club, but could now reunite with Silva as his new assistant coach in a surprise move for the Toffees.
