Report: Martinez's position as Everton manager will be evaluated this week

Amid growing dissent from Everton's supporters, Roberto Martinez's future at Goodison Park is reportedly set to be reassessed.

According to Andy Hunter of the Guardian, Everton's board of directors will convene this week to discuss Martinez's position as the Toffees' manager. The club's 2-1 defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup semi-finals on Saturday marked its seventh consecutive failure to win in all competitions and came on the heels of a 4-0 thrashing in the Merseyside derby.

Following Everton's FA Cup elimination, Martinez insisted he was ready to fight for his job, saying: "I'm so attached to Everton and my ambition is exactly the same as their ambition. I just share the drive that the football club has, which is getting into the Champions League and getting into situations where we can bring silverware to the football club. I'll give everything I've got to fulfill those expectations."

Manuel Pellegrini, whose time at Manchester City will come to end once the Premier League season is done, is the betting favourite to replace Martinez in the event the latter is sacked.
