Roberto Martinez was fired by Everton on Thursday with three years left on his contract after failing to get the best out of what is widely regarded as the club's strongest squad in years. It is the first big move by Everton since billionaire Farhad Moshiri bought a stake in the Premier League club in February to become its majority shareholder. A 3-0 loss to Sunderland on Wednesday left Everton in 12th place in the Premier League with one game remaining, at home to Norwich on Sunday.
