(Reuters) - Everton manager Sam Allardyce says he will continue to lead the Premier League club next season after holding talks with majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri.

The 63-year-old, who took charge of Everton in November, has helped the Merseyside climb from 18th to eighth in the league but despite the team's progress, British media reports have questioned Allardyce's continued stay at Goodison Park.
