Africa-Press – Ghana. While a section of the board wants the Spaniard to be sacked, a group led by owner Farhad Moshiri believes the tactician deserves more time to prove himself and is ready to back him in the January window.
Their midweek defeat to Merseyside rivals Liverpool was Everton’s eighth consecutive game without a win. The only positive results in that run have been draws against Manchester United and Tottenham and according to The Express, the outing has had the club board thinking about the future of the former Newcastle United boss.
The Mirror on the other hand reports that a section of the board feels that signing Benitez was a wrong move owing to his affiliations to Liverpool and that the fans haven’t made it easier for him because of this.
While Benitez has pinned their form to injuries mainly on striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin who’s been out of action since August, the defeats to the likes of Watford, Wolves, and Brentford have ramped up the pressure on him.
The manager and the team were booed by their home fans when they hosted arch-rivals Liverpool in the Merseyside Derby which they lost 4-1 win with a section of them calling for the board to sack Benitez.
