Koeman was backed heavily during the transfer window, as Everton
spent a reported £142 million on new players, but he has failed to
deliver results this season and leaves the club 18th in the table.

The Merseyside club have flattered to deceive despite showing some
early signs of promise, with the Toffees winning just once in the league
since earning a promising 1-1 draw at title-hopefuls Manchester City in
their second game of the season.

"Everton football club can confirm that Ronald Koeman has left the club," read a club statement released on Monday.
"Chairman Bill Kenwright, the board of directors and major
shareholder Farhad Moshiri would all like to express their gratitude to
Ronald for the service he has given to the club over the past 16 months
and for guiding the club to seventh place in last season's Premier
League campaign."

Koeman's
side showed some fight when rescuing a late draw at Brighton and Hove
Albion on October 15, but the result did little to paper over the
cracks.

That draw was followed by a 2-1 defeat at home to Lyon in the
Europa League, with the side guilty of another abject performance,
leaving them bottom of Group E with just a single point from three
matches.

And Sunday's result proved to be the final straw for Koeman, who
departs just over 16 months after leaving Southampton for Goodison Park,
with Everton facing Chelsea in the EFL Cup on Wednesday.

Prior to Koeman's widely anticipated departure, former boss David
Moyes had been linked with a return, while Burnley's Sean Dyche and
Sam Allardyce, most recently at Crystal Palace, have also been linked.

The 54-year-old – who won 19 and lost 16 of his 47 top-flight games
at the helm – is the third Premier League manager to get the boot in
2017-18, following compatriot Frank de Boer's departure from Palace and
Craig Shakespeare's dismissal at Leicester City.

The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi,
on Sunday declared the National Coordinator of the Oodua People’s
Congress, Gani Adams, as the 15th Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland.

dictator, Gen. Sani Abacha, in 1998 for refusing to trade his
presidential mandate for freedom.
In June this year, there was an
indication that Adams could be named the new Generalismo of Yorubaland
by the monarch but the OPC leader refused to confirm nor deny the
rumour.
But Alaafin, who confirmed the
declaration to one of our correspondents in a chat on Sunday night, said
that a letter of appointment had been issued to Adams during his
(monarch’s) 79th birthday celebration.
“Yes, I have confirmed Otunba Gani Adams as the next Aare Ona Kakanfo
