Thelwell has been the director of football, responsible for several failed moves in recent years.

David Weir, who is technical director at Brighton, maybe in line for a return to Everton.

Atalanta senior scout Mick Doherty is said to be another option, per The Sun.

New manager David Moyes is likely to have a say in who is brought in to work in these positions.
