Everton sack Ronald Koeman

    Ronald Koeman has been sacked as manager of Everton.

    The Dutchman has been stripped of the role following a humiliating 5-2 home defeat at the hands of Arsenal.

    The Toffees have won just two of their nine league games this season and currently sit 18th in the Premier League table.

    Their chances of progression to the next stage of the Europa League are slim, after suffering two defeats and managing one draw in the group stage.

    Everton owner Farhad Moshiri gave Koeman his backing a fortnight ago after their 1-0 defeat by Burnley, but the Toffees then drew at Brighton and lost to Lyon, in the Europa League, before their Goodison Park humbling by Arsenal.
