The
Liverpool Daily Post has reported that there is a strong
possibility that Clarke, whose Chelsea future is shrouded in
uncertainty following the recent sackings of Avram Grant and Henk
ten Cate, could be seeking a new challenge.
And Moyes,
who has been without an assistant ever since Alan Irvine left for a
managerial role at Preston North End, could be set to
pounce.
The Everton
boss will be hoping that Clarke’s expertise could help his side to
break back into the top four in the Premier League, but any
departure from Clarke, who is extremely popular amongst players and
fans alike at Stamford Bridge, would be a major blow to Chelsea and
their owner Roman Abramovich, who needs to keep the likes of Clarke
in order to keep the fans on side.
Former
Preston boss Moyes is reportedly looking to bring in Clarke sooner
rather than later to assist him with his pre-season planning
process, but could hit a stumbling block if Clarke, as speculated,
is interested in moving into management himself in the near
future.
44-year-old
Clarke, who spent eleven years in West London during his playing
days, was an integral part of the coaching team under Grant as he
was previously with Jose Mourinho.
