Everton new manager poll open as fans vote after Frank Lampard sacked

Frank Lampard has been relieved of his duties as Everton manager and we want your views on whether it was the right time to sack him - and who should be the next man to occupy Goodison Park hot seat.

Lampard was named Rafa Benitez's successor on January 31 last year but his spell in charge has not even lasted 12 calendar months.

The former Derby County and Chelsea boss became the sixth manager to be sacked by Farhad Moshiri since the British-Iranian businessman became the club's majority shareholder in February 2016 following Roberto Martinez, Ronald Koeman, Sam Allardyce, Marco Silva and Benitez.

Lampard's tenure has been characterised by a period of unrest among Everton fans, with disgruntlement at both the board and the club's players in recent weeks. One of the questions we want fans to answer in our poll is whether you have any sympathy for Lampard given the backdrop to his spell in charge.

The hunt is now on to replace Lampard with former Burnley boss Sean Dyche the early favourite with the bookies to land the job ahead of ex-Leeds chief Marcelo Bielsa, who is also out of work. Everton old boy Wayne Rooney is also in the running despite being appointed coach of Major League Soccer outfit DC United in July 2022.

West Ham boss David Moyes, who managed the Blues between 2002 and 2013, has also been tipped with an emotional return to Goodison, while Nuno Espirito Santo, Ange Postecoglou and perhaps even club legend Duncan Ferguson could also be in the running.

Vote for you who want in our poll below and you continue the debate in the comments section.
