During his time at Bramall Lane, the 52-year-old manager has done a stellar job since his appointment in 2016, having picked up a 1.77 points-per-match ratio over his 180 games in charge (as per Transfermarkt).
Wilder currently has his Sheffield United side positioned sixth in the Premier League table (as per BBC), which left many Everton fans keen to wax lyrical over the Englishman.
Good man

Would have been my pick if Carlo wasn’t interested. However may have been another risky appointment

What do we think?
It is without any doubt, Wilder is doing a fantastic job with the Blades this season and that is all down to his tactical nous (as per These Football Times).
While it may be a little controversial for some to have suggested that they would take the 52-year-old over their Italian gaffer, what the future holds, no one really knows.
