Benitez was axed after a 2-1 defeat to Norwich City which left The Toffees six points above the bottom three and in serious danger of being dragged into a relegation battle.
Former Everton striker Wayne Rooney is 3/1 to come back as boss and save their season after his good work at Championship club Derby.
Duncan Furguson, another former Toffee, is 7/2 to take over from Benitez after previously having a run as interim manager between Marco Silva’s sacking and Carlo Ancelotti’s appointment in 2019.
Graham Potter is 7/1 but looks unlikely to leave Brighton with the Seagulls in ninth place in the league.
Former Chelsea and Derby boss Frank Lampard is 8/1 to make his return to the management hotseat since being dumped by the Blues last season.
Nuno Espirito Santo is 10/1 while Slaven Bilic is 12/1 but both seem unlikely with Martinez the Toffees No1 target.
