Everton wants Shanghai SIPG manager Vitor Pereira to replace Marco Silva at Goodison Park. The club sacked Marco Silva after Wednesday's 5-2 defeat to Liverpool in the Merseyside derby left them 18th in the Premier League.
Pereira is currently managing in China having finished third in the Chinese Super League as manager of Shanghai SIPG.
The Portuguese has also managed in Turkey with Fenerbahce and in Greece with Olympiakos, as well as a stint with Porto.
'Moyes would galvanize Everton squad'
Former Everton defender Alan Stubbs believes David Moyes would help restore the spirit within the squad if he was to replace Marco Silva following his sacking.
He was also considered by Everton as David Moyes' replacement before the club settled on Roberto Martinez in 2013.
The 51-year-old is currently one of highest-paid coaches in the world and was recently offered the job of managing the Chinese national team.
Pereira is understood to be willing to consider an offer from Everton.
