Germany national team boss Joachim Loew has emerged as the shock candidate to replace Roberto Martinez as the manager of Everton, according to reports from the Daily Mirror

It is clear to see that Roberto Martinez has lost the faith of most of the Everton supporters and many believe that the Spaniard will be forced out of Goodison Park at the end of the current campaign.

Whether or not Martinez does actually leave remains to be seen but a number of names have already started being linked with the hot seat at Goodison Park and in shock links, it has been claimed that Everton are considering a move for Germany manager Joachim Loew.

According to reports from the Daily Mirror, Everton owner Farhad Moshiri has identified Loew as the ideal candidate to replace Martinez as the Iranian businessman looks to bring Champions League football to the Blue half of Merseyside for next season.

Loew is contracted with the German national team till 2018 but the reports state that the 56-year old has a clause included in the agreement which allows him to speak with interested clubs.

Having managed Germany for nearly ten years now, there is a belief that Loew wants to turn his hand into managing at club level and Everton are hopeful of luring the World Cup winner to Goodison Park after the European Championships.

If indeed Everton are able to land the services of Loew, he is expected to receive a transfer kitty worth a whopping £200million and will be expected to deliver Champions League football within two years of his stay at the club.
