Phil Neville made 303 appearances for Everton after joining the club in 2005

Phil Neville is interested in the vacant managerial position at his former club Everton, BBC Sport understands.

The Merseyside club sacked Ronald Koeman on Monday after their loss at Arsenal left them in the Premier League relegation zone.

Ex-England international Neville, 40, made more than 250 appearances for Everton in eight years at the club.

He was previously assistant manager at La Liga side Valencia.

Everton confirmed on Tuesday that Everton Under-23 manager David Unsworth will take temporary charge of the club, starting with Wednesday's Carabou Cup tie against Chelsea.

Neville has previously spoken about his desire to manage a club full-time.

He acted as first-team coach at Manchester United in 2013 alongside David Moyes and Ryan Giggs, before leaving in 2014.

He began his role at Valencia in July 2015 but left the club a year later.
