Everton 'make contact' with Tuchel

Everton have made former Mainz and Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel their top candidate to replace Ronald Koeman according to a tabloid report.

The Mirror make the claim that the club have already contacted representatives of the 44-year-old German who has recently been in talks with Bayern Munich about possibly succeeding Carlo Ancelotti there.

Tuchel garnered attention from the wider football world when he transformed Mainz and that earned him a plumb role at Dortmund.

Despite winning the DFB-Pokal trophy and guiding them to the Champions League quarter finals, he parted company with that club in May after falling out the Dortmund hierarchy over transfer policy and apparent discord with some parts of the playing squad.

Tuchel reportedly rejected advances from West Ham last month when they were first exploring alternatives to under-fire manager, Slaven Bilic.

The same report says that Everton are also interested in talking to Burnley manager Sean Dyche and Watford boss Marco Silva.
