Duncan Ferguson, a longtime assistant coach of Liverpool's "Everton" team, is temporarily taking over the team for the second time, the club itself announced. D. Ferguson stood temporarily at the helm of the "toffees" before Carlo Ancelotti arrived at the club. At the end of 2019, after M. Silva's dismissal, D. Ferguson led the "Everton" team to a 3-1 victory over Chelsea at home in his first match at the helm. Later, the former striker became an assistant to Carlo Ancelotti, and this season he also assisted Rafa Benitez, who was recently fired. D. Ferguson is a legend of "Everton" not only on the pitch. Throughout his career, the high-profile striker represented the club from Liverpool for 10 years, during which he scored 68 goals and made 5 assists. The former defender Leighton Baines, another club legend, will also assist the caretaker coach. So far, the main candidates to take over the helm of "Everton" in the long term are Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney, according to "The Telegraph" newspaper.
