Bwnitez won just five of his 22 games at the helm.
The marriage of Rafael Benitez andEverton has ended.
His departure came just seven months into a three-year contract, after he was defeated by Carrow Road on Saturday.
His successor will be the focus of attention. With only six points above the bottom of the table, action needs to be swift.
The club's former manager Roberto Martinez, as well as assistant boss Duncan Ferguson, and former player Wayne Rooney, are thought to be high on the rumour mill.
"Wayne Rooney will get a mention and it is up to Wayne where he feels he is at if he was offered the job," said Stephen Warnock.
It would be very difficult to turn down, from a club and fans point of view. Is he experienced enough? The fans and players respected him.
Graham Potter is the choice I look at, and the fans ofBrighton won't want me to say this. You would get the open and expansive football from him.
We will give you the chance to vote on who you think should be the next manager after we take a closer look at some of the candidates.
Sean Dyche is a person.
There has been talk for years about Dyche taking a bigger step in his career. He has done well at Turf Moor in the last decade, getting promoted to the premier league twice.
He is frustrated by the lack of funding available to strengthen his squad. This season is becoming more difficult with just one league win and a fixture pile-up because of Covid-19 and the sale of Chris Wood.
There have been previous links to other places.
Could Duncan Ferguson get the permanent job?
Duncan Ferguson.
Ferguson was a player at Goodison Park for two spells and has been on the first-team coaching staff. He took charge of four games after Marco Silva's dismissal and won one and drew three.
He went on to assist both of them.
The man is Paulo Fonseca.
Heavily linked with both Spurs and Jets at different points this season, Fonseca is likely to be high up on a lot of lists.
He has been linked with a number of clubs in the past, and has an impressive CV that includes three Ukrainian league titles.
One of the more realistic targets for Moshiri could be the 48-year-old who seems keen to work in England.
Hjulmand is a man.
The Danes have received a lot of praise for their performance at Euro 2020, when they reached the semi-finals. His side was full of quality and had the strength of character to deal with Christian Eriksen's cardiac arrest.
The 49-year-old was a man who was heavily linked with Goodison Park. He had two spells with FCNordsjaelland, sandwiched between time with German club Mainz, before taking the Danes job two years ago.
The man is Frank Lampard.
This is the sort of challenge that might interest Frank. There is scope to develop younger players like Anthony Gordon and new signing Nathan Patterson, while also the likelihood of money to spend next summer after a window with minimal outlay last year.
After a difficult end to his reign in west London, FrankLampard has a point to prove and likes to develop youngsters. He is an outside bet.
Roberto.
The only man with previous full-time experience of managing a team is the one on this list.
Things didn't go well for the Spaniard, but there were some positives, including a fifth-place finish in his first season. He won the FA Cup with Wigan Athletic before moving to Goodison Park.
He has worked with some of the best players in the world. He is expected to leave there soon, and a return to his old club is a possibility.
The man is Jose Mourinho.
Despite enjoying less success in the league in recent times, the man who loves it, Jose Mourinho, was mentioned earlier in the season when the man who was supposed to be his successor, Fernando Alonso, began to struggle.
It hasn't been plain sailing for the former Real Madrid boss at Roma. Despite a strong start and the heaviest summer spending in Italy, his side are seven points off the top of the table. Bodo/Glimt's 6-1 defeat in the Europa Conference League has been the low point.
It seems like a long shot, but maybe something has happened.
Graham Potter.
Graham Potter has won 24 of 96 games with the Seagulls.
Potter is arguably the best English manager in club football. He has turned the side into a stable one.
The former defender has previously worked wonders with Swedish sides and has settled into British football as a manager.
It will be difficult to get him away from the Amex Stadium, but he is definitely the sort of option that would suit the Toffees.
Wayne Rooney.
This call is very interesting. Derby County moved off the bottom of the Championship this weekend despite being hit with a 21-point deduction and Rooney's managerial stock has risen in recent months.
The 36-year-old is definitely worthy of being in the conversation, but it may be too soon.
Nuno Espirito Santo.
The Portuguese was one of the favorites to get the job before the Spaniard took it. He has built a decent reputation in English football after guiding Wolves to the top flight in the last year, but his time at Spurs may have hurt that.
Can this one be ruled out because of the rate of Nuno within the camp?
