Slaven Bilic puts name forward to replace Rafa Benitez at Everton
Former West Brom and West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has reportedly put his name forward to replace Rafa Benitez at Everton.
According to talkSPORT, the Toffees have decided to sack Benitez and have agreed to compensation for it after the 2-1 loss against Norwich on Saturday (January 15).
90Min now report that Bilic, who has managed 100 games in the Premier League. wants to be the Spaniard's successor at Goodison Park.

Bilic did a decent enough job at West Ham, but given their sky high potential, he failed to reach the levels many thought he would.
With West Brom, he never could achieve what many thought he could and last season he ended up facing the threat of relegation.
He was eventually replaced by Sam Allardyce, who also failed to keep the Baggies up.
Like Carlo Ancelotti, Toffees need to target managers who are touted by some of the top clubs in the world.
Not managers like Bilic, who would struggle to get a job even in the Championship.
He surely would want the job as it'll be the biggest one of his career, but the club must be wary about hiring him.
Instead, they should focus on managers like Graham Potter who are on the rise and can take this club forward in the right way.
