Everton have finally confirmed the sacking of Frank Lampard less than one year on from appointing the England icon.
Lampard, 44, was dismissed on Monday after the Toffees lost their third consecutive game with a 2-0 defeat at West Ham two days earlier. The legendary former Chelsea midfielder led relegation-threatened Everton to safety last season, following his appointment at the end of January 2022, but the club's dismal form has led to yet another change in the Goodison Park dugout.
The loss at London Stadium left the Merseysiders 19th in the table with a paltry three wins from 20 top-flight fixtures. Further, Everton were knocked out of the EFL Cup and FA Cup by Bournemouth and Manchester United respectively, contributing to increasingly-hostile protests from a disillusioned fanbase.
