If David Moyes leaves for Scotland, Everton already have one obvious replacement
Everton boss David Moyes has been linked with the Scotland job.
After a disappointing World Cup campaign that came to an end at the group stages, Steve Clarke resigned from his role in charge of the Tartan Army.
Despite having the likes of Scott McTominay, John McGinn and Lewis Ferguson in the squad, Clarke drew criticism for failing to deliver on the big stage.
Alongside Ange Postecoglou and Alex Neil, Moyes has been tipped to potentially take over, with Scotland looking to book a spot at the home European Championships.
The 63-year-old returned to Everton in 2025, but he is under pressure among the fanbase after a poor end to last season.
With the exit links in mind, Goodison News takes a look at who could step in at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Forgotten Premier League boss should be the obvious Everton choice
Taking Brentford to some incredible heights in the Premier League, Thomas Frank more than earned his move to Tottenham last summer.
The Dane would endure a difficult spell in North London, but he cannot take all of the blame given the state of Spurs in the last two years.
Sky Sports reported that Frank was someone Everton looked at hiring before they landed Sean Dyche, with the 52-year-old still in charge of Brentford at the time.
Despite his poor stint at Tottenham, his record in the top flight cannot be ignored.
Finishing 13th, ninth, 16th and 10th, his Brentford team would settle down at an unimaginable level for the West London club, while he laid solid foundations for Keith Andrews to build upon last season.
After coaching some superb football in the Championship, he became more variable in the Premier League, with the Bees often solid at the back, and exciting in the final third.
Frank won 13, drew 11 and lost 14 as Spurs boss, but he cannot be overlooked for another Premier League job as a result, given his exploits in West London.
How will the Everton fans be feeling after David Moyes developments?
Before the start of last season, Moyes was a well respected figure among the Toffees fanbase.
After his previous exploits at Goodison Park, he returned and stabilised the Blues, leading them into the new era at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
In March, Everton were flying in the European positions, before it all came crashing down in the season's final weeks.
Moyes' stubbornness came into question, with Merlin Rohl, Tyrique George and Tyler Dibling not getting a fair chance in place of his struggling favourites.
Missing out on Europe and dropping as low as 13th, the Scotsman would end the season with serious pressure on his shoulders.
If he does not get off to a good start in the coming term, this would absolutely intensify.
Considering this, many at Hill Dickinson Stadium may hope for the Scotland move, allowing for a clean split, rather than a sacking at some point in the future.
