Rafa Benitez's future at Everton is in serious doubt.
The ECHO understands that talks are taking place over sacking their fifth manager in six years, leaving Benitez 'hanging by a thread' in his current position.
Appointed by the Blues back in June, this was considered a high-risk move from the very beginning and could well be coming to an early end.
Results in recent weeks have been poor and the team have managed just one win in their previous 13 Premier League outings, resulting in the Toffees ultimately being dragged into a relegation battle.
