Ronald Koeman’s tenure as coach at Goodison Park has come an end after 16 months with the side sitting in the Premier League relegation zone. Everton have sacked Ronald Koeman after Sunday's 5-2 home defeat to Arsenal left them with just two wins from their first nine Premier League games.

This makes him the third Premier League manager to get the boot in 2017-18, following Frank de Boer's departure from Palace and Craig Shakespeare's dismissal at Leicester City.

 

"Everton football club can confirm that Ronald Koeman has left the club," read a club statement released on Monday.

 

"Chairman Bill Kenwright, the board of directors and major shareholder Farhad Moshiri would all like to express their gratitude to Ronald for the service he has given to the club over the past 16 months and for guiding the club to seventh place in last season's Premier League campaign."

 

Koeman was backed heavily during the transfer window, as Everton spent a reported £142 million on new players, but he has failed to deliver results this season and leaves the club 18th in the table.
