The search for Marco Silva's successor is on and Everton fans are naturally intrigued by the prospect of seeing a fresh face arrive at the club.

Farhad Moshiri's extensive investment in the club suggests he has ambitions of taking the club to the next level, and a report published by The Times detailing a list of potential new managers certainly consolidates that feeling.

Carlo Ancelotti, David Moyes, Erik ten Hag, Vitor Pereira, Marcelino and even Mauricio Pochettino are all included on a list that is bound to induce feelings of optimism amongst a disgruntled fanbase following a dismal start to the season.

In response to the report, one fan account asked supporters to name their dream appointment based on the names included, and Pochettino was unsurprisingly a huge favourite.

One fan was understandably reluctant to anticipate his arrival but another suggested it's not beyond the realms of possibility.

Meanwhile, one Everton fan name-checked two club icons who weren't even included on the initial list, suggesting Mikel Arteta and Tim Cahil could reunite at the club and emulate a legendary pairing.

Finally, a handful of fans were also enthused by Ancelotti's inclusion on the list.

Given his elite pedigree and CV that boasts a plethora of Europe's behemoths, it's absolutely no surprise to see the Italian endorsed by the supporters on Twitter.
