Everton assistant coach Paul Clement says Duncan Ferguson has been missed.
Everton's coaching team has lost the presence of club legend Ferguson since the end of last season.
The former striker - who was twice caretaker manager - left to pursue his own managerial ambitions.
Clement told the Liverpool Echo: "His presence is missed, for sure. He was really popular... we'll certainly miss his personality and humility."
Explaining how the remaining staff will try to cope with Ferguson's departure, he said: "We're really open with players.
"We all get amongst them. There's nothing missing in terms of that, in my opinion. I also understand Duncan's ambition now, because I've had that myself before. When you've had the taste, it's an amazing experience."
