The 2015–16 season was Everton's 62nd consecutive season in the top flight of English football and their 138th year in existence.[1] Everton participated in the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup. The season covers the period from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016. Although the club managed to reach the semi-finals in both the FA Cup and League Cup, their overall performance did not meet expectations. As a result, prior to its last Premier League match of the season, the club sacked third year manager Roberto Martínez.
