Everton managerial candidate Vitor Pereira has defended his record amid fan protests at the prospect of the Portuguese taking charge of the club’s battle to remain in the Premier League.
“Pereira out, Lampard in” was painted on a wall outside the club’s stadium on Wednesday in response to reports the former Porto and Fenerbahce boss was favourite to land the job. Objections to his appointment are also rooted in resentment at the influence of agent Kia Joorabchian has over Everton owner Farhad Moshiri.
“They don’t know me, my work or me as a person or my CV. I don’t take it as a personal attack. I work in a lot of countries, different clubs, at different levels, and we got several titles but before you start work and you don’t know the person and you cannot judge.”And he believes the unrest among the fans is a reflection on the state of affairs at the club than on him personally.
