Everton manager David Moyes insists he is in no hurry to sign a new contract this season.
However, speculation about his future is bound to grow after the Scot, whose current deal expires in the summer, said he did not want “supporters to get too sick of seeing the same manager all the time”.
Everton are arguably in their best position during Moyes’ 10-and-a-half-year reign but he is keen to see how things develop before beginning negotiations.
“No doubt I will be asked the question every week but I’m in no great hurry,” said the Toffees boss. “I just want the season to go on, see how we do and overall if we do well it will make things a lot easier.
“I want to see how we are progressing and also I don’t want supporters to get too sick of seeing the same manager all the time. I am not (concerned) but I can understand maybe people will be.”
