Everton have made a second massive move for Southampton manager Ronald Koeman, according to Dutch journalist Marcel van der Kraan.Koeman was installed as the favourite to succeed the sacked Roberto Martinez on Merseyside earlier on Thursday and De Telegraaf writer Van der Kraan believes the Saints boss faces a huge decision in the next 24 hours.Koeman has been in talks over a new contract on the south coast, with his current deal set to expire in 2017, but reports in the Netherlands have claimed Koeman is on his way to Everton for talks along with his agent Rob Jansen. Koemans Southampton side qualified for the Europa League for the second season running Van der Kraan told Sky Sports News HQ: Everton have come out all guns blazing to try and get the man they wanted in the first place.When Ronald made it clear that Southampton was his priority and that his heart was there, he wasnt going to go. But, as happens more in football, sometimes when you say no the more they want you, and they have now come back in for him, and it looks very, very positive.They know that, when you look at the situation at Southampton, Ronald Koeman has a great set-up. Hes been boasting about the training facilities and the team hes built there and got into Europe twice in a row. You cant really say it can get any better.So for Everton to convince him, and come in for him a second time, means they have to offer him a massive package, with great prospects on the transfer market, otherwise there would be no point trying to speak to him at this moment. Koeman favourite for job Ronald Koemans odds to be the next Everton boss have been slashed They have other people on the horizon. I understand that, up until the weekend, Sevilla manager Unai Emery was a top candidate, and Frank de Boer has never been away from the table.But Koeman is the man Mr [Farhad] Moshiri [Evertons owner], really wants and hes made that clear. The next 24 hours could be very decisive. If I was putting my money on anything, it would be on Koeman heading north.Koeman took Southampton to a sixth-place finish last season and a second season in the Europa League, while Everton languished in the bottom half of the table and finished 11th.But Van der Kraan believes Koeman may feel he has taken the Saints as far as they can go with a limited budget, while Everton are anticipated to spend heavily with the investment of new owner Moshiri. Everton have also been interested in Sevilla boss Unai Emery He said: Significant transfer funds could absolutely be a decisive factor. At Southampton, hes built a good team, bought all the right players. He has a good eye for players and knows the European market very well.So that could make a major difference for him to go. He needs to improve a lot of things at Everton to even match, let alone improve, what hes got at Southampton.Ronald made it clear in his last column in De Telegraaf that, when he looks back at the last two seasons, he has really got the maximum out of the players that hes bought.He has had to work with a smaller package than clubs like Manchester United and hes put them into European football twice, and maybe he is got more out of them that anyone else could.Also See:Koeman would consider top jobKoeman contract talks going wellKoeman favourite for Everton jobKoeman slams Utd over Van GaalNFL Jerseys China .

Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Free Shipping . Laudrup revealed Thursday he was notified of his dismissal in "the briefest of letters which gave no reasons why such hasty and final action was deemed necessary.NICE, France -- Wanted: Someone to turn around the fortunes of soccers most consistently underperforming international team.England was beginning its search for a new coach Tuesday after Roy Hodgsons departure following the teams latest embarrassing exit from a major tournament, this time at the hands of tiny Iceland at the European Championship.And there arent too many obvious candidates for a role often labeled The Impossible Job.Gareth Southgate, the coach of Englands under-21 team, is an early if underwhelming favorite to succeed Hodgson. Theres talk of Sam Allardyce, Alan Pardew and Eddie Howe -- all current Premier League managers and all from different parts of the age spectrum.But the list of genuine contenders is short, considering that being the manager of England is usually the highest-paid coaching role in the international game. The English Football Association on Tuesday didnt rule out the possibility of a non-English replacement for Hodgson and insisted that root-and-branch reform isnt necessary.Well be looking for the best person for the job, said the FAs CEO, Martin Glenn. We need a new manager. We dont need to throw the baby out with the bathwater. There are a lot of good things that have been done.Trying to predict what course the FA will take is not easy. Since 1999, when Kevin Keegan was hired and then fired 18 months later, the FA has swayed from English to foreign coaches -- Sven-Goran Eriksson, Steve McClaren, Fabio Capello, and then Hodgson.Each of those coaches brought a different approach, experience and identity to the job -- a sign of the lack of long-term planning the FA is often accused of, and which it has tried to address by building the sprawling National Football Centre in central England in 2012. It is supposed to be the base from where Englands most talented young coaches are brought through, but that will take time.Hodgsons legacy with the national team will be his two major failures at international tournaments -- the 2014 World Cup and now Euro 2016 -- but also how he brought many young players into the ssquad.dddddddddddd The average age of Englands squad was the second youngest at Euro 2016.So if England wanted to have a seamless transition into the post-Hodgson era, Southgate might be the best bet.The man who famously missed a crucial penalty in Englands shootout loss to Germany in the Euro 1996 semifinals has coached one club -- Middlesbrough -- and was fired after three years, following its relegation from the Premier League.Widely seen as an FA man and one of English soccers nice guys, Southgate has repaired his coaching reputation during his three years with Englands under-21 side and led the team to a first title in 22 years at the Toulon tournament this year. He will know many of Englands current squad but the general feeling is that he lacks the knowledge and experience for such a prestigious and pressurized position as England coach.The larger-than-life Allardyce, currently the manager of Sunderland, has always wanted the England job. The 61-year-old coach has over-performed in fire-fighting roles with a number of average Premier League teams (Blackburn, Bolton, Sunderland) and deserves more praise for his tactical insight than hes often given. He is also regarded as a pioneer of analytics and stats-based thinking in English football.Big Sam, as he is known, looks to have a better chance than Pardew and Howe, who are the managers of Crystal Palace and Bournemouth, respectively, simply due to his coaching experience.And if experience is what the FA hierarchy after, they could do worse than try to entice Arsene Wenger.Criticism of the Frenchman is growing among Arsenals fan base after 20 years at the London club, and Wenger could be tempted by a first international job, perhaps the final one of his career.The FA will look to have its new man in place well in advance of Englands next match, a World Cup qualifier away to Slovakia on Sept. 4.---AP Sports Writer John Leicester contributed from Chantilly, France.
