Everton have reportedly made Thomas Tuchel their first-choice target after parting company with Ronald Koeman on Monday.

According to a report from the Daily Mirror, Everton have made former Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel their number one target as they look to try and replace Ronald Koeman.

Koeman was sacked by the Toffees on Monday one day after their heavy 5-2 defeat to Arsenal which saw them fall into the relegation zone in the Premier League after just two wins and five defeats in their opening nine league games of the season.

The Mirror reports that under-23 boss David Unsworth will now take control of the team for their Carabao Cup tie with Chelsea this week, but the man they seemingly want long-term is one currently looking to get back into the game after leaving the Westfalenstadion in the summer.

The Mirror suggests that Tuchel is the first-choice target for the Goodison Park hierarchy, but he is also being considered by Bayern Munich, while the Toffees are also looking at the likes of Carlo Ancelotti, Sean Dyche and Marco Silva.

Tuchel did a tremendous job at Dortmund picking up the pieces following Jurgen Klopp’s disappointing final season with the club.

The 44-year-old inspired the side to second in the Bundesliga in his second campaign, while they also won the German Cup and reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, so it is arguably not that surprising to see that Farhad Moshiri and Bill Kenwright seem to be admirers of the German.
