The Everton board have reportedly identified eight people that could potentially replace David Moyes as the club's new manager.

Following 11 years at the helm, Moyes has decided to leave Goodison Park to replace Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.

With the process to replace the Scot already underway, it was claimed earlier today that Phil Neville, Alan Stubbs and David Weir had already been interviewed for the position.

However, there are five other managers that the Toffees would like to speak to, according to Sky Sports News.

Roberto Martinez and Michael Laudrup are thought to be strong contenders, while Roberto Di Matteo, Malky Mackay and Porto's Vitor Pereira are also said to be in the running.

Pereira is the current favourite with the bookmakers, with Martinez second in the market.
