Roberto Martinez: 'Everton must go for experience'

Former Everton boss Roberto Martinez says that the Toffees must select an experienced manager to replace Ronald Koeman.

Former Everton boss Roberto Martinez has called on the Toffees hierarchy to select an experienced replacement for Ronald Koeman.

On Sunday, an Everton team led by interim boss David Unsworth overturned a two-goal deficit to defeat Watford to end a run of eight games without a win.

However, Martinez - who managed Everton between 2013 and 2016 - has suggested that the Merseyside club have little choice but to opt for experience when naming a successor for Koeman.

The 44-year-old told talkSPORT: "This season has been extra challenging because of the European qualification and then you have new players coming in. It has been impossible to get consistency.

"The win yesterday was a real turning point in the season - to get out of the relegation zone going into the international break almost gives you a new start.

"If the goal now for the manager arriving at Everton is to win silverware or try to get as close to Europe, you need experience. There is no two ways about it. The Premier League is such a demanding league, you have to have some sort of experience."

Sam Allardyce and Burnley boss Sean Dyche are considered to be the two favourites for the position.
