Those changes including replacing veteran boss Sam Allardyce with highly-rated Portuguese boss Paulo Fonseca this summer.<\/p>\n<h2>Allardyce\u2019s style of play criticised<\/h2>\n<p>When Everton hired Allardyce, it was the act of a desperate club. A disastrous start under Ronald Koeman left the Toffees looking like relegation fodder.<\/p>\n<p>Allardyce is a specialist at keeping clubs out of the Championship, so his appointment in November was maybe logical. In truth, Everton have looked safe from the drop since just after Allardyce\u2019s appointment. However, the football the team has played under the former West Ham boss has been nothing short of dire. The Merseysiders have some exciting young players in their squad.<\/p>\n<p>That has not stopped Allardyce deciding to play the brand of football that the former England boss has pretty much always been associated with throughout his managerial career. Allardyce\u2019s appointment was always seen as a necessary evil by most Everton fans. The fact that the experienced boss was handed an 18-month contract concerned Blues fans.<\/p>\n<h2>Zorro to the rescue<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/paulo-fonseca.jpg\" alt=\"Paulo Fonseca\" width=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6256\" \/>The man that Moshiri hopes to bring in Fonseca, is in his second season at Shakhtar Donetsk, who he is set to guide to a second domestic title. The 45-year-old also guided the Ukrainian side to the Champions League last-16, becoming the first team to beat Manchester City this season on the way.<\/p>\n<p>Fonseca has also instilled an attractive brand of football at the Ukrainian club, which Everton fans would hope that he could bring to the Toffees team.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/video\/2017\/dec\/07\/paulo-fonseca-shakhtar-donetsk-manager-zorro-mask-champions-league-video\">The Portuguese boss is also famous for wearing a Zorro mask during a press conference<\/a><\/strong>, something that shows he has a big personality. More important he is a highly rated coach, who will be a free agent this summer and who reportedly is looking to try his hand in the Premier League.\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/sports-betting\">Fonseca is now the red-hot favourite to become the next Everton boss with the bookmakers.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Looking for a long-term solution<\/h2>\n<p>When Farhad Moshiri bought the majority of shares in Everton, he had ambitious plans for one of English football\u2019s most historic clubs. The Toffees have been in doldrums for virtually the last three decades.<\/p>\n<p>However, they have the history, fan base and potential to push on in the future. Moshiri knew the Merseysiders were \u2018the best of the rest\u2019, so with that in mind put his money where his mouth is. He spent heavily last summer, buying the players that Ronald Koeman and Director of Football Steve Walsh wanted. Unfortunately, the pair\u2019s signing were not great and left the team terribly unbalanced.<\/p>\n<p>A new boss and reportedly a new man in the scouting department in Marcel Brands of PSV should lead to the team moving forward next season. Allardyce may have saved Everton from the drop this season. However, everybody knew that he is just a relegation firefighter and not since his Bolton days have his team\u2019s produced anything like decent football.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, this summer\u2019s changes in personnel will prove to be long-term solutions for the Toffees, as this season has been a wasted one in terms of developing the team.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Will Paulo Fonseca be the next Everton boss?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the Daily Mirror, Everton majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri will greenlight a major overhaul of the clubs management this summer.

My name is David Nugent and I am editor-in-chief of LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com. I have always enjoyed various sports, primarily soccer, as I am a die-hard Everton fan. Over time, I learned more about sports betting and discovered the fascinating online gambling industry. Eventually, I decided to turn this passion of mine into a project, and that\u2019s how this platform came to be. I am excited to share my story with you and talk about this platform that\u2019s a result of over 20 years of experience I have in the industry. My Beginnings My love for sports has always been a big part of my life. It all started with my dad and me playing in the backyard, but I continued to play sports throughout both elementary and high school. At that time, I knew very little about sports betting since it wasn\u2019t legal in Pennsylvania, but I quickly learned that other states have different laws and that sports betting was legalized in some of them. When the time to pick a college came, everyone thought I was going to do something sports-related. However, that wasn\u2019t my plan. Since there are many lawyers in my family, I decided to follow in their footsteps. I studied law at the University of Pennsylvania, and during that time, my passion for sports only grew bigger. I would watch various sporting events with my friends and attend all matches and games that were happening in the area. On one occasion, I decided to go on a road trip to Vegas with my friends, and, needless to say, I fell in love with the bright lights, humongous buildings, and fantastic casinos. That\u2019s when I discovered the whole gambling scene I knew nothing about. Of course, I knew how to play some games, such as poker and blackjack, but I never realized how well-developed this industry actually was. That trip changed my perspective on what I wanted to do with my life. After I graduated, I took some time off and I traveled through the US, exploring various casinos and land-based sportsbooks. I also spent one year in the UK, where my dream of watching Everton play finally came true. There, I realized how advanced the whole gambling industry is and that the legal aspect of it was quite different than in the US. I spent that time writing for various online platforms where I had the opportunity to share my extensive knowledge about sports. When I came back to the US, I was given a chance to write for an international soccer magazine where I covered the Premier League \u2014 which I was crazy about \u2014 Bundesliga, and other international tournaments. After having written hundreds of sports-related articles, I knew what I wanted to do \u2014 create my own platform and share my knowledge with others. How LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com Came to Life Once I set the goal, I started doing extensive research on the online gambling industry and the laws surrounding it. I wanted to combine my background in law and the passion I have for sports and create a high-quality online platform. While the online gambling industry was flourishing in Europe, the exact opposite was happening in the US. That is, until 2018 when PASPA (Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act) was overturned. After that, every US state was allowed to introduce new laws and provide operators that wanted to offer various online gambling opportunities with licenses. That was the start of the online gambling industry in the US. Since I knew how online gambling worked thanks to the experience I gained when I was in the UK, I was extremely excited to have the opportunity to introduce US players to the best online gambling platforms and show them that online sportsbooks and casinos can offer an immersive gambling experience, just like their land-based counterparts. Why I Do This What attracted me to online gambling was the possibility of placing bets on my favorite teams from the comfort of my home. I wanted to be able to do that using safe platforms and secure payment options to fund my betting account. And that is exactly what I want for my fellow bettors, too. Naturally, I was a bit of a skeptic myself at first when it came to online gambling simply because I knew how unsafe some sites can be. But once I did some research and talked to fellow European experts, I realized that there is a way to find perfectly safe online gambling platforms. Every gambling site you find on this platform has gone through extensive and rigorous testing to ensure its safety and reliability. Additionally, I have studied the laws of each state in the US, as well as of other countries worldwide, to gain a deeper understanding of how online gambling works in different parts of the world. I\u2019d like to note that the online gambling industry has just begun its journey and we are yet to see its significant growth and improvement in the future. It will be my pleasure to witness all of that with you. I Couldn\u2019t Have Done This on My Own Of course, none of this would have been possible if it weren\u2019t for the amazing team of people I gathered for this project. Since I have only basic knowledge of web development, I started working with some experienced developers who have helped me build this platform. Today, they are here to make sure everything runs smoothly. Also, I knew from the beginning that I wouldn\u2019t be able to take care of all the content on my own, which is why LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com has an incredible team of experienced gamblers, writers, and people with a background in law. They help me conduct in-depth research and find all the necessary information. Naturally, since this industry is still new in the US, we are all learning a lot, and we will continue to do so in order to improve our platform and make your experience better. Finally, I would love to hear your feedback, suggestions, and comments, so feel free to contact me at any time.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/x.com\\\/Nuge1983\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legitgambling.com\\\/news\\\/author\\\/david-nugent\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Everton set to appoint new boss this summer -","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/everton-set-to-appoint-new-boss-this-summer\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Everton set to appoint new boss this summer -","og_description":"According to the Daily Mirror, Everton majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri will greenlight a major overhaul of the clubs management this summer.
