# Everton: Fans fume over Roger Schmidt manager news

**Some Everton fans have been left fuming as some manager news emerged involving Roger Schmidt.**

As per [SportBILD](https://sportbild.bild.de/) (via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/everton-tottenham-made-enquiries-recently-german-hes-hesitating-new-deal-club/)), both the Goodison Park faithful, as well as Tottenham Hotspur, have ‘recently’ made ‘enquiries’ over the PSV manager’s availability, who is looking to leave in the summer.

They are ‘settled’ on Rafa Benitez, but more bad results on top of [them losing their last three games in the Premier League](https://www.evertonfc.com/results) could mean a decision may have to be made.

Whether Schmidt would actually be an upgrade on Benitez is another question, as he has [no prior experience](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/roger-schmidt/leistungsdatenDetail/trainer/3865) of managing in English football, while this season has not gone as well as he would have hoped, being [thrashed 5-0 by their biggest Eredivisie rivals Ajax](https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2021/10/ajax-move-clear-at-top-of-eredivisie-with-5-0-dismantling-of-psv/) and [in danger](https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/standings/) of not qualifying from their UEFA Europa League group.

Nonetheless, Benitez has not been in the job long enough to have his future questioned, especially if Schmidt is considered to be his replacement.

### Everton fans on Schmidt news

These Toffees fumed as the news was shared on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/EvertonNewsFeed/status/1456271674295275528), with one Blues supporter even going as far as to claim that Schmidt would be a ‘dreadful’ appointment:

**“Done with the club at this point if they sack Rafa without realizing where the true failures are coming from. Don’t believe this one but, but if it’s true, then Everton aren’t moving forward any time soon.”**

**“Would be a dreadful appointment. Never mind our defence PSV have a terrible defence in the Dutch league and plenty PSV fans want him gone.”**
