The Portuguese manager is under fire for underperforming with this Everton squad, and talk of who should replace him is already underway in Toffee communities both in real life and in the online world.
And one popular suggestion has been former midfielder Mikel Arteta, who is currently part of Pep Guardiola’s coaching staff at Manchester City.
As expected, some Everton fans on social media were open with their former Spanish playmaker making the return to the club.
Here is what some supporters had to say on Twitter…
There’s nobody better he’s the best little Spaniard we know

I think Arteta would be perfect for us! I wanted him before we appointed silva. He knows the club and the fans. Would be an ideal match

I’d take him mate but can’t see him walking away from city.

I was telling my mates yesterday, that if Silva got the sack, that would be my first phone call.

I would be happy with him, but does he have his UEFA license?

Arteta was highly linked with taking over the Arsenal job following the departure of Arsene Wenger in 2018 as reported by The Independent.
