Ronald Koeman 'disappointed' at sacking as Everton put David Unsworth temporarily in charge

Everton Under-23s manager David Unsworth has been placed in temporary charge of the first team following Ronald Koeman's sacking.

Sacked Everton manager Ronald Koeman is disappointed to have lost his job but was grateful for the chance to take charge of a "great club".

The Dutchman was relieved of his duties on Monday after the 5-2 home defeat to Arsenal dropped the club into the Premier League's bottom three and made it just two wins in 13 matches.
