Everton fans now face a waiting game for the takeover from the Friedkin Group to go through, and they’re already eyeing a potential reunion.
Dan Friedkin’s takeover at Everton is progressing nicely according to Alan Myers, who believes that it could be pushed through towards the end of November.
Interestingly, the current AS Roma owner’s net worth has risen by £1.6 billion over the past year, making Dan Friedkin the 393rd richest in the world, according to Forbes.
There have been rumours of a managerial chance at Goodison Park with new owners potentially wanting a new face, but nothing is certain.
Everton have been linked with Jose Mourinho, David Moyes and Maurizio Sarri.
Now, it looks as if Dan Friedkin is looking to spark a reunion at Everton with an interesting hire.

Interestingly, Friedkin and Lina Souloukou are good friends from working together at AS Roma, where she was the CEO for a period of time.
She currently works for UEFA and has previous experience as the General Manager at Olympiacos too.
The Friedkin Group clearly have plenty of connections in the game due to running a high profile club like AS Roma, so it’ll be interesting to see what else they muster up at Everton.
According to Corriere dello Sport (as per Romapress.net), Souloukou is in the race to become Everton’s new CEO.
It’s stated that she’s in the running due to her positive relationship with Dan Friedkin.
What Roma fans are doing to hit out at Dan Friedkin
Interestingly, Roma fans aren’t best pleased with their owner Dan Friedkin right now (as per TNT Sports).
It’s stated that AS Roma fans have been staging a protest against the club’s ownership, after the controversial sacking of Daniele De Rossi.
The fans figuratively made their voices heard in their 3-0 Serie A victory over Udinese last month. The Curva Sud announced they would not enter the ground until 30 minutes of play had elapsed.
Other fan groups decided not to unveil banners or flags until half-time, with the official attendance recorded as 63,499 in the 72,698-capacity Stadio Olimpico.
