And former boss Moyes, 61, has entered talks with Everton after being immediately considered as a replacement.
An early approach was made to Moyes and his staff by new owners, The Friedkin Group, before they took control at Goodison Park.
The ex-West Ham boss, who left the east London club in the summer, has rejected a number of different offers since leaving the London Stadium – including international jobs and some in America.
Speaking last month after being awarded an OBE, he said he was not done in management.
The Scot told the BBC: “I don’t consider myself done yet but I am certainly enjoying some time off.
“The one thing I won’t do is put any manager under pressure personally, because I don’t believe in it.
“I have not liked it when I have been in that position myself.
“We are all getting a little bit older and I have to make sure I am doing the right thing for myself.

“Football is in my blood. It has been since I was a boy. I love watching football and I have enjoyed my career.
“If there is another part to it, so be it. But I would only want it to be a good part. I wouldn’t want to be coming in and doing something which is very difficult.
“I don’t want to be at the bottom of the league and fighting relegation which I have had a few times, so we will see how things go.”
Moyes spent 11 years in charge at Goodison Park before leaving for Manchester United in 2013, leading them to the 2009 FA Cup final and to a 4th placed finish in 2005.
