Germany head coach Joachim Low has reportedly been added to Everton's shortlist of potential new managers.
It is widely expected that the current occupant of the Goodison Park hotseat - Roberto Martinez - will be relieved of his duties at the end of the season.
A number of bosses have already been linked with the post, including Mark Hughes, Eddie Howe and a return for David Moyes.
However, The People claims that Low is also now a shock contender for the position.
The report adds that while Low only recently signed a new contract with the German Football Federation, it does contain a clause that allows him to discuss terms with any interested clubs.
It is believed that the 56-year-old would only consider moving to Merseyside if he was promised the necessary funds to help the Toffees challenge for the Champions League places.
