Everton 'made to wait on Ronald Koeman as Dutchman goes on holiday'

Everton 'made to wait as Koeman goes on holiday'

Everton will reportedly have to wait to unveil their incoming new manager Ronald Koeman as the Dutchman has jetted away on another holiday.

The 53-year-old, who is believed to have agreed a three-year deal with the Toffees, only returned from a Caribbean jaunt last week.

Koeman has been in charge of Southampton for the last two years, but is believed to have been swayed by the promise of a large transfer kitty from Everton's new owner Farhad Moshiri.

According to the Liverpool Echo, Koeman has left his agent Rob Jansen to sort out the finishing touches on a deal, which will go through once Southampton and Everton have agreed on a compensation package.

The Merseyside outfit could still announce Koeman as Roberto Martinez's successor this week, but De Telegraaf reports that the officially unveiling has been delayed.

The former Feyenoord boss is expected to receive a £7m salary from Everton.
