Everton has confirmed that Duncan Ferguson will remain in charge for their Premier League match against Manchester United on Sunday, December 15, 2019.
The decision comes after the Toffees sacked Marco Silva last week, with Ferguson leading the team to a 3-1 win against Chelsea in his first game as caretaker manager.
Ferguson will be assisted by coaches John Ebbrell and Francis Jeffers, as well as goalkeeper coach Alan Kelly, in their trip to Old Trafford.
"Duncan Ferguson will remain as Everton caretaker manager for Sunday’s Premier League visit to Manchester United," a club statement read.
"Former striker Ferguson was in charge as the Blues secured a 3-1 victory over Chelsea at Goodison on Saturday," the statement added.
The search for Everton's next permanent manager is ongoing, with former boss David Moyes and Carlo Ancelotti being considered for the role.
However, Shanghai SIPG boss Vitor Pereira has ruled himself out of the running, citing his commitment to his current club.
