Everton have reportedly moved a step closer to appointing former Napoli boss Carlo Ancelotti as their new manager.
According to BBC Sport, the 60-year-old has held “face-to-face discussions” with owner Farhad Moshiri this week and the club is hoping to finalise a deal before Saturday.
However, regardless of whether one is clinched, Duncan Ferguson is expected to remain in caretaker charge of the Toffees against Arsenal in the Premier League this weekend.

The broadcaster adds Moshiri has promised Ancelotti a lucrative deal and “substantial funds” to rebuild an Everton side 16th in the table after a poor start to the season.
The Toffees are currently three points above the relegation zone but shown an improvement with Ferguson, their former striker, at the helm.
