Round, Woods and Lumsden depart
The situation concerning the coaching staff at Everton became a little clearer today with the news that Steve Round, Chris Woods and Jimmy Lumsden were all released from their contracts so they can follow David Moyes to Manchester United.

The announcement comes as Moyes and Roberto Martinez officially start work in their respective new posts today.

Round, 42, had been Moyes's Assistant Manager for five years after joining the Blues from Newcastle United where had been first team coach following a five-year spell as Steve McLaren's assistant at MIddlesbrough.

53 year-old Woods leaves Everton after 15 years as the club's goalkeeping coach. Originally appointed by Walter Smith in 1998, he on stayed on under Moyes.

Lumsden, 65, came to the Blues with Moyes from Preston North End and continues a 15-year association with the Scot by following him to Old Trafford.

In a separate story, Sports Direct report that Andy Holden, Reserve Team manager, was sacked this morning, after 20 years at Everton.

The departures clear the way for Martinez, who returned from covering the Confederations Cup in the United States this weekend, to bring in his own backroom staff from Wigan, with his assistant Graeme Jones, chief scout Kevin Reeves, and goalkeeping coach Inaki Bergara expected to be appointed this week.
