Duncan Ferguson's coaching staff confirmed ahead of Everton clash with Chelsea

Everton have confirmed Duncan Ferguson's coaching staff ahead of Everton's clash with Chelsea this weekend.

On Thursday the Blues confirmed that manager Marco Silva had been sacked after a period of intense pressure, with the side slipping into the relegation zone after a dismal Merseyside derby defeat on Wednesday.

Liverpool won 5-2 at Anfield to condemn Everton to their third defeat in a row following the most recent international break, with Farhad Moshiri breaking the news of the manager's sacking via a face-to-face meeting with Silva on Thursday afternoon at Finch Farm.

The Blues announced quickly that Duncan Ferguson would be in temporary charge of the side for Saturday's visit of Chelsea to Goodison Park while the search for a permanent manager gets underway.

And the former striker's coaching staff have now been revealed.

Francis Jeffers, John Ebbrell and Alan Kelly will assist Ferguson - a trio who were all part of the coaching team for David Unsworth's U23s as they won the Premier League 2 title for the second time in three years last season.
