Vitor Pereira says "it is a time for decisions" over his potential appointment as manager of Everton.
The Portuguese manager is one of several candidates being considered to replace Rafa Benitez.
Speaking in a surprisingly candid interview with Sky Sports, Pereira said he wanted the situation resolved as soon as possible.
"I had a few interviews - not just one," Pereira told Sky Sports. "More than one interview with different people at the club.
"We discussed everything. I discussed with different people in the club and on the board.
"I gave them my point of view about the club and what I think about the team, because they asked me to come, Moshiri and Bill Kenwright and other people in the club."
He added: "This is a time for decisions."
Pereira also responded to graffiti at Goodison Park reading 'Pereira out, Lampard in'.
Asked whether that message hurt, Pereira admitted: "Of course. This is the first time in my career I've seen these types of things. I've never had these kind of comments about me. My CV speaks for itself.
"They don't know me very well. They don't know my work, they don't know me as a person, they don't know my CV.
"I worked in a lot of countries - different clubs, different levels. We got several titles. Before you know the person, you cannot judge.
"But I understand the feeling of the supporters because the last years the club didn't get good results, and it's normal they are not happy.
"But when I came here, I came with passion, with spirit and with the intention to bring again good football."
