Everton's hunt for a new manager rumbles on as Niko Kovac denies he is in the running despite attending the club's most recent fixture. Meanwhile, Marcelo Gallardo is stalling on a new deal at River Plate amid heightened speculation.
Marco Silva was sacked as the Toffees' boss following a dismal 5-2 humbling against bitter rivals Liverpool at Anfield, leaving the club in the bottom three and staring down the barrel of a relegation scrap.

Duncan Ferguson was placed in temporary charge following the Portuguese's dismissal, and proceeded to mastermind a superb 3-1 success over Chelsea in his first game in the dugout, ending a sequence of three straight Premier League defeats.
That still hasn't prevented Everton from eyeing a new boss, with one of the managers in attendance at Goodison Park was recently sacked Bayern Munich manager Kovac, who is one of the names being linked with the vacant manager's role on Merseyside. However, according to Goal, his visit was purely one of pleasure, as he will visit a number of top-flight matches in England.
It is added that the Croatian intends to take a break from management, distancing himself from any available positions, with the 48-year-old even set to watch Arsenal take on West Ham on Monday.
