A lot of similarities can be drawn from the sacking of Frank Lampard at Chelsea and at Everton. The 44-year-old has reportedly been dismissed from his position as a Premier League head coach in January for the second time in his career — and this is just the first of many parallels!
Although not officially confirmed by the club at the time of writing, Lampard appears to have been relieved from his duties on Merseyside, leaving Everton in the relegation zone, only off the bottom courtesy of a better goal-difference than Southampton, with the Toffees winless in eight Premier League games.
Despite showing spells of great promise under the Englishman's stewardship, Everton averaged just one point per game, winning 12, drawing eight and losing 24. Now, in a bid to arrest the club's poor run of form, the Toffees seem poised to follow Chelsea's lead and cut their ties in January, hoping for a similar new-manager bounce.
