Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti is full of praise for football chief Marcel Brands.
Ancelotti argued that Brands is a big part of the stability he has brought to Goodison this season, offering the hope that they can continue working together.
“We are working well, we have a good relationship with him and I will be really pleased he if can sign a new contract - it is important, to give stability to the club," he said.
“This is the way that you have to follow, to try to work together to improve the relationship between us, between the clubs, and so I think the step is a good step.
“It will be good for him to stay and to work and to try to improve the squad and the team. But we all have the same idea, the board has the same idea and soon I think he is going to sign a new contract.
“From what I know there is work in progress, I think that no doubt, he is going to stay and sign a new contact."
