Revitalised Morgan Schneiderlin could buy himself another season at Everton

Carlo Ancelotti’s arrival at Everton has breathed new life into the football club.

The Italian was a huge appointment for the Toffees and so far, he is living up to expectation.

The three-time Champions League winner has overseen an improvement in results and the club now sit just five points behind fourth-placed Chelsea in the Premier League.

Following his appointment in December, Ancelotti has recorded five wins, two draws and one narrow defeat to Manchester City in the league, and there is newfound optimism at Goodison Park.

The players have responded really well to the new manager coming in, perhaps none more so than Morgan Schneiderlin, who undoubtedly had a poor first half of the season along with most of his teammates.

Not a weekend would go by where the Frenchman wouldn’t come in for criticism, but in recent weeks, the 30-year-old has stepped up his game.

TBR’s view – Schneiderlin to stay for final season?

At the start of the season, there were a lot of shouts for Schneiderlin to be sold this summer.

But the way he’s been playing in recent weeks under the guidance of Ancelotti, he could easily stick around for the 2020/21 season, which would potentially be his last with his contract expiring in the summer of 2021.

In recent games against Newcastle United and Crystal Palace, the former Manchester United man has been a rock in the midfield, with WhoScored awarding him ratings of 7.48 and 7.69 respectively.

With Jean-Philippe Gbamin still out injured, it’s important for him to make the most of the chances that will certainly be coming his way.
