And as SunSport revealed, the Toffees are making enquiries about the availability of the Italian, who has won five European Cups as a player and manager.

And according to The Nanfang Daily, Ancelotti will replace World Cup winning coach Luiz Felipe Scolari.

Ancelotti was sacked by Bayern following their humiliating 3-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain last month.

That followed a stuttering start to the Bundesliga season for the reigning German champions – and the results did not go down well with the Bayern board.

And Ancelotti appears to want a spell away from Europe after his Bayern experience, with a job in China a big money-making exercise, as well as the opportunity for a new experience.

Meanwhile Everton candidates currently include former defender Phil Neville, ex-Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel and current Burnley boss Sean Dyche.

In the meantime David Unsworth has been confirmed as their caretaker manager for the trip to Chelsea.
