Everton supporters have pinpointed Borussia Dortmund’s Lucien Favre as a managerial appointment they would be happy with.
Since the Toffees’ 2-0 defeat to Norwich City on Saturday, a number of potential replacements for Marco Silva have been touted, with the Portuguese manager starring down the barrel of the sack (as per The Mirror).
Interestingly, Everton fans pinpointed the under-pressure Bundesliga gaffer as a potential choice.
Favre is in a precarious position at Dortmund might behoove Everton to wait till after Derby

wanted him from the time RM got the boot. Very good at getting the best out of players, developing players and is tactically capable

Should be all over him if he gets the sack

Would Lucien Favre be a good appointment for Everton?
Yes
No
The 62-year-old Swiss manager is reportedly under mounting pressure at the Signal Iduna Park, with one game left to save his job in Dortmund (as per Club Call).
Things look even worse for the experienced manager due to recent disputes with starlet Jadon Sancho, who looks set for a possible exit (per Daily Mail).
With supporters widely agreeing that he could be an avenue to take should he be sacked by the German club, one fan even suggested it is probable that he is already on the director of football, Marcel Brands’ list.
Probably one on Brands list mate. Bet his list is grand. But bet Bill has MOYES wrote on thick black Marker on a bit of cardboard.

What do we think?
While the Swiss manager has fallen on difficult times of late, he has to potential to make a fantastic manager at Goodison Park.
Borussia Dortmund sit sixth in the Bundesliga which, while short of their expectations, is not completely catastrophic (as per Sky Sports).
Furthermore, while facing the sack, the 62-year old still retains a 2.02 points per game ratio across his 65 games in Dortmund (per Transfermarkt).
