Everton chairman Farhad Moshiri has revealed that the club’s manager Ronald Koeman has the total support of the board.
The Toffees have started the season in poor form and results have not gone their way. Their 1-0 defeat to Burnley during the weekend means that they have picked up just several points from their opening several games.
They also played out to a disappointing 2-2 draw with Apollon Limassol in the Europa League last Thursday. Many fans of the club are clearly frustrated at the form of the Toffees.
Many expected them to challenge for a top four position at the start of the season as they spent more than £140 million on recruiting new talent during the transfer window. However based on the way that they are playing, they will finish in the bottom half of the standings unless things do not improve.
Moshiri however indicated that Koeman still has his total support, saying, “We are in a bad moment, but we have played the four title contenders – three of them away. Burnley was the only unexpected loss.
“The four pre-qualifying UEFA [Europa League] and two group games on Thursdays haven’t helped. There is mental and physical fatigue and seven injuries.
“These are early days and Koeman has my total support. We have great fans and they deserve better. We know the expectations by our honest and objective fans and we will not let them down.”
