Reports in South American claim Everton have sounded out Marcelo Bielsa as their potential next manager.

It emerged last week Bielsa is eyeing a return to management after quitting Marseille just one game into this season's French league following disagreements with the board.

The 60-year-old has recently been linked with jobs in Brazil, Argentina and Chile, but is said to prefer a crack at managing in the Premier League having previously also worked in Spain with Espanyol and Athletic Bilbao.

And with pressure growing on current Everton boss Roberto Martinez , the Brazil edition of Goal.com is claiming a Blues representative has made an approach to Bielsa .

Bielsa has also taken charge of Argentina – winning the Olympics in 2004 – and guided Chile to the World Cup second round in 2010.

Everton couldn't be contacted by the ECHO for a comment on the report.
