EVERTON SACKS FRANK LAMPARD AFTER POOR RUN OF RESULTS- REPORTS

Relegation-threatened After less than a year in command of the Goodison Park club, Everton has fired manager Frank Lampard, according to British media on Monday.

Rafael Benitez was replaced in January 2022 by the former Chelsea manager, however he leaves the team in 19th place in the standings, level on points with last-place Southampton.

After leading Derby County in the second tier in 2018–19 and Chelsea from 2019–21, Lampard was hired by Everton in January 2022.

Club directors were earlier this month instructed to avoid Goodison Park owing to alleged security dangers, a sign of the unrest engulfing Everton.

On Saturday, Everton suffered a humiliating 2-0 setback against West Ham, another struggling team. This was Everton’s ninth defeat in its previous 12 Premier League games.

After the game, it was asked of club owner Farhad Moshiri, who was in attendance at the London match, if Lampard should be fired.

No comments from me. He said to Sky Sports, “It’s not my choice.

Lampard remarked of his own future: “Those things are not my choice. My duty is to work, concentrate, and maintain a low profile.

I am aware of the club’s activities, but whether the chairman or a board member attends a game has never had an impact on me.
