I want to thank all Evertonians for the welcome that you gave to me, my staff, and my family. It truly is a special club with a huge heart, and an incredible history.

Everton sack Lampard following poor results

Following their 2-0 defeat against West Ham last weekend, Everton have fallen to 19th in the Premier League table with just 15 points after 20 games. They are currently two points off the relegation places and their fight for safety will not get any easier with them set to face leaders Arsenal next on February 4. As a result of this dismal run, the Toffees decided to sack Frank Lampard. Their statement to confirm the same read,

"Everton Football Club can confirm that Frank Lampard has left his post as Senior Men’s First Team Manager today. Joe Edwards, Paul Clement, Ashley Cole, and Chris Jones have also left the Club. Alan Kelly will remain as goalkeeping coach.

Everyone at Everton would like to thank Frank and his coaching staff for their service during what has been a challenging 12 months. Frank and his team’s commitment and dedication have been exemplary throughout their time at the Club, but recent results and the current league position meant this difficult decision had to be taken. We wish Frank and all his backroom team well for their future in the game.

The Club has started the process to secure a new manager and will provide updates on the appointment in due course. Paul Tait and Leighton Baines will take training until a new manager is appointed."
