Everton manager Frank Lampard believes that “communication” is the key if he is to work alongside a director of football at the club.
Everton’s last director of football Marcel Brands departed Goodison Park last December, less than eight months after penning a contract extension that committed him to the club until 2024.
While a strategic football review at Everton remains ongoing, the ECHO understands the club are seeking a new director of football so the position will be retained.
