After just six-and-a-half months in charge, Rafael Benitez was sacked by the club.
The Toffees have not won in the league since September and are currently 15th in the table.
The Spaniard has failed to win over the Goodison Park faithful despite being appointed the boss of the club last summer.
Fans of the club displayed a banner calling for his departure after the loss to the Canaries. The same banner was unfurled at the FA Cup win.
In the past 13 league games, the Toffees have lost nine of them, including a 4-1 home defeat by the Reds and a 5-2 home defeat against the Hornets.
An update on a permanent replacement will be made soon.
A dressing room lacking leaders.
They have won their last 13 games.
Roy Keane is a Sky Sports commentator.
I think the dressing room atEverton doesn't look like a good one. They have some decent players who turn up every now and again, which is not good for a big club.
"If they keep losing and he goes tonight, I get the impression that something is missing in that dressing room, whether that be the culture or the lack of characters and leaders at the club."
I get the impression that the dressing room is not a good place to be. The manager will pay the price if you lose many games.
The fans are not having Rafa.
The banner was unfurled by the fans of the club against their manager.
Sky Sports' Jamie Redknapp.
It's not all on Rafa at the moment, but he has a habit of causing chaos at clubs. He's a politician and he blames everyone else.
He creates an atmosphere of crowd against board everywhere he goes because he puts this person against that person.
I didn't see him lasting after he did it again there. We've talked about a manager's position but some people won't like that.

He was not the right fit. You can't keep losing. The fans did not have him. Football fans don't mind who is in charge if they're winning, but he had to go.
Duncan Ferguson did a good job as interim last time, and he could come in while they look for a new manager. The job Wayne Rooney is doing at Derby is out of this world.
This would be the greatest escape of all time. Is he the right fit? I don't know. They'll be looking at that type of option right now.
Where does the blame lie for the team?

Despite protests from fans, the injured players will be back for the start of the new season.
Sky Sports' Ben Grounds.
It is a question that is hard to answer, but for many of those who went back to their hometown after their longest away trip of the season, it was clear where the buck stops. The unhappy marriage with under-fire formerLiverpool manager Benitez reached its nadir at Carrow Road.
This was the club's first away defeat against a team that had started the day bottom of the league since May 2004, and they had been perfect in 17 of them. He had run out of time and excuses. The damage had already been done by Dominic and Richarlison's return to the side.
This miserable run of one win in 13 league games has been the case many times.
In their last nine games, including the loss to Norwich, they have conceded the first goal in 16 of 22 games.
Against the bottom team in the league, who had conceded the first goal in 16 games this season, Benitez watched his players go down. It felt like a repeat of yesterday.
He may reflect on his six months in charge and never be as irate as the club's supporters, but the players must also take accountability.
After all, both ofNorwich's goals were ofEverton's own making, with Michael Keane's own goal coming 92 seconds before Ben Godfrey's poor pass contributed to Adam Idah making it two.
This is the third time in the last four years that they have had fewer points at this stage of the campaign. Senior members of the squad must come forward and lead by example, but calls for him to be relieved of his duties became too hard to ignore.
Rafat Benitez has a record.
P22 W7 D5 L10 F31 A39
Each of their last 9 games has seen them concede the first goal, as they have conceded the first goal in 16 of 22 games this season.
This is the third time in the last four years that they have had fewer points at this stage of the campaign than they have this season.
