Everton currently ranks sixteenth in the standings, one point behind the bottom three.

“It's the right time to leave the club, and the team is in good shape.
“I did my part as a goalkeeper and I will forever be proud of that.”
Everton was punished twice last season for financial irregularities.
They were deducted 10 points – reduced to six on appeal – and then two Premier League points.
Daichi said he faced “some very difficult situations” during one of the “most difficult periods” in Everton's history.
Everton hosts Aston Villa in the league on Wednesday in Moyes' first match after returning.
He coached Everton from 2002 to 2013, finishing the season in the top eight nine times and reaching the FA Cup final.
