Former AC Milan and Napoi coach Rino Gattuso is being considered at Everton.

Everton are seeking a new manager after Sunday's sacking of Rafa Benitez.

Italian transfer expert Nicolo Schira reports Gattuso is being discussed at Everton amid talk of a deal being close with Belgium coach Roberto Martinez about a return.

Gattuso came close to joining Tottenham last summer and remains a free agent after leaving Napoli at the end of last season.

The Italian has past playing experience in the UK with Rangers.
