He was dismissed from his job as manager ofEverton in May 2016
The Belgian Football Association has made initial contact with the Toffees about Roberto Martinez returning to the club.
The Spaniard, 48, will be with Belgium at the World Cup in November and they are reluctant to lose him.
The Toffees have a list of potential replacements for Rafael Benitez.
He was sacked as manager ofEverton in 2016
He became Belgium manager in August of 2016 and they finished third at the World Cup.
The world's number one ranked side, Belgium, are among the favorites for the World Cup.
The Belgian FA will reject any suggestion of Roberto Martinez doing both jobs, and the World Cup being held in November and December will prevent a clean end-of-season break.
Despite being the first of five managers to be sacked by the current owner, Roberto Martinez still has the support of the board.
The Catalan believes he has unfinished business at Goodison Park.
He is one of a number of candidates under discussion as the club attempts to move away from the toxic reign of former manager Rafa Benitez.
The appointment of formerLiverpool manager Benitez may be hard for Moshiri to sell. He was also the target of protests and banners demanding his removal after his tenure went into decline after a fine first season when he guided the team to fifth place.
Derby boss Wayne Rooney has been linked with a return to Goodison Park.
Wayne Rooney, a former player and manager at Goodison Park, is also likely to figure in discussions having been doing a good job at Derby County.
It may have been significant that the statement announcing the departure of the manager made no mention of a new one, suggesting that they will be moving for a quick permanent appointment.
Ferguson will probably take interim charge for a second time if the Toffees can't get their man, starting with Saturday's home game against Villa.
Potter is on the topic.
Graham Potter, the manager of the Seagulls, said on Monday that he couldn't comment on speculation in the newspapers.
I'm very happy at the club and I think it's one of the best-run football clubs in the league.
He said that he was not flattered by the links. It's just speculation or people want to write.
I'm at a good football club that helped me. I'm not here because I'm good, but because I'm at a good club and have good support.
I have people that allow me to do my job, that give me support, and that are important. There is an organisation around the club.
We're probably not as bad as people think when things aren't going so well.
You can't help what people write.
