Premier League club Everton has decided to part ways with manager Frank Lampard, sources close to the matter revealed on Monday. This decision comes as the team looks to dig its way out of the relegation battle.
Under Lampard’s leadership, the Toffees lost nine of their last 12 games, leaving them in 19th position on the league table. The club has reportedly already begun the process of searching for a replacement.
Currently, the club is considering former Wolves boss Nuno Espírito Santo, who currently coached Saudi Pro League side Al Ittihad, as well as former Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa. Former Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl is also up for consideration.
Lampard has struggled in his role at Everton since being appointed manager on January 31 of last year. Despite struggling to find form, Lampard was able to help Everton avoid relegation in the final weeks of last season.
The last two weeks have seen Everton lose to two fellow relegation candidates. Everton lost 1-2 at home to Southampton last week before losing 2-0 away at West Ham United on Saturday.
