Before the match against Arsenal on Monday, Everton was shocked by changes. The club, which has been struggling lately, decided to make changes - they parted ways with sports director from the Netherlands, Marcel Brands. In 2018, M. Brands joined Everton after leaving PSV Eindhoven, and in 2019 he joined the club's management. In an official statement, the Dutchman said: "It took a long time for me to make this decision, as it was one of the hardest decisions in my career. The management and I decided that there was a clear difference in the visions we see for this amazing club, so I made this decision." At the moment, Everton is in a difficult financial situation, having spent only 2 million pounds this summer. Previously, M. Brands has spent over 100 million pounds on players such as Alex Iwobi, Moise Kean, Jean-Philippe Gbamin, Andre Gomes, and Yerry Mina. Everton also added in an official statement that they still fully believe in head coach Rafa Benitez.
Everton Football Club can confirm that Marcel Brands has left his post as Director of Football.
