Everton's Coach "Roberto Martinez" Gets Fired

The Toffees are currently 12th in the Premier League but have won just one of their last 10 league games.

A growing number of fans have demanded Martinez's sacking.

Now supporters' groups are planning a protest at St George's Hall in Liverpool, where players and officials will gather on Thursday evening, its unlikely the protest is going to take place since he's been sacked

Everton finished their season at home to relegated Norwich City on Sunday, Now that won't take place following his immediate dismissal from the club.

One potential sticking point is that he still has three years left on a lucrative contract, worth a reported £4m a year, that he signed in the summer of 2014.

The agent of Dutch coach Frank de Boer, who has just stepped down at Ajax, has expressed interest in the Everton job.

It had been anticipated  that they would wait till the end of the season before performing a review but anger among Everton fans means a decision on Martinez's future could now be made earlier.

Everton have produced three dismal away performances in succession in the Premier League,

losing 4-0 at Liverpool,

3-1 at newly-crowned champions Leicester City

3-0 at Sunderland on Wednesday.

They also lost the FA Cup semi-final to Manchester United.

In addition, Martinez has presided over the worst home record in Everton's history this season, losing eight of their 18 games so far.

They have won only five league matches at Goodison Park, with two of those coming against relegated Aston Villa and Newcastle Unit

Martinez was appointed Everton manager in summer 2013, succeeding David Moyes after he left for Manchester United.

The 42-year-old Spaniard guided Everton to fifth place with 72 points in his first campaign - a club record in the Premier League era - but the Toffees managed just 47 the following season, finishing 11th
