Everton manager David Moyes has said that he is in no hurry to sign a new contract.
The 49-year-old's current contract with the Toffees runs out at the end of the season.
"I want to see how we are progressing and also I don't want supporters to get too sick of seeing the same manager all the time," BBC Sport quotes him as saying.
"I have a great relationship with the chairman (Bill Kenwright), we speak every day and when the time is right we will sit down and see what we are going to do."
Everton travel to Reading in the Premier League on Saturday.
