Rafa Benitez's job at Everton is in danger following their slow start to the 2021/22 campaign and Jose Mourinho has emerged as a potential replacement in the event the club decide to part ways with the Spanish coach.
Everton have registered seven defeats and two draws in their last ten Premier League duels, with injuries to important players having taken their toll on the team.
In fact, back in October the Toffees decided to appoint a new first-team rehabilitation fitness coach in Cristian Fernandez after injuries piled up in the first stretch of the campaign.
However, following Everton's 4-1 defeat to Liverpool in the local derby, fans expressed their unease towards both Benitez and the club board.
Everton owner backs Benitez ahead of emergency meeting
Owner Farhad Moshiri has publicly backed Benitez, as he believes that the former Liverpool boss is the perfect man to build a strong Everton side.
After the defeat to their fierce rivals, though, a board emergency meeting was scheduled to be held on Monday, when Everton host Arsenal at the Goodison Park.
"Rafa still has the full support of the owner - and that message has been conveyed to him," an Everton source told the Mirror.
"There are reasons why recent results have been disappointing - with so many players out injured it has been a tough period for the team."
Mourinho a potential candidate
Despite having not won much in his last spells at Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, Mourinho is considered as a potential successor to Benitez, should the club dismiss the Spaniard.
The Portuguese tactician took charge of Roma last summer, but the Giallorossi have not shined in this first stretch of the season.
Roma are currently sitting sixth in the Serie A table and second in the Conference League Group C behind leaders Bodo/Glimt, who beat the Italian side 6-1 on home soil back in October.

Why u Mourinho fans always blame players when ever he is not doing well? Is it not responsibility of Mourinho to make the players play good football and win matches? If Mourinho is that good why isn't he coaching Chelsea or real madrid or bayern or City or even man utd? Why is he coaching lesser clubs like Spurs and Roma now when bigger teams are still struggling to get an elite coaches like Klopp, Pep or Tuchel? Mourinho spent more than a year without Job but still non of the biggest clubs tried to employ him, why? why only Roma wants him now? Why is he failing in Roma now?

Oh ok everyone know your Spur
Mourinho is no longer an elite coach now, he's for smaller teams now. Non of real madrid, bayern, psg, Liverpool, man utd, city or even barca will recruit him now. only teams like roma, Everton or Burnley will try him, which he will eventually fail.

Those players are not serious
Why u guys always blame players when ever Mouriho is not doing well? Is it not responsibility of Mourinho to make the players more serious? u mean Chelsea players were not serious when he got sacked with Chelsea 15th on the table? What about when real madrid sacked him? what about in man utd and spurs? If Mourinho is that good why isn't he coaching Chelsea or real madrid or bayern or City or even man utd? Why is he coach lesser clubs like Spurs and Roma now when bigger teams are still struggling to get good coaches like Klopp, Pep or Tuchel? Mourinho spent more than a year without Job but still non of the biggest clubs tried to employ him, why? why only Roma now?
