(Reuters) - Everton have shown promise under manager Carlo Ancelotti but the challenge for the team will be to become consistent and push for European qualification, skipper Seamus Coleman has said.

Italian Ancelotti, who took charge in December with Everton close to the drop zone after Marco Silva's sacking, has steadied the ship and lifted them to 11th in the Premier League with 44 points from 32 matches.
