Frank Lampard has admitted Everton’s relegation battle is not on his mind despite managing the club for most of the campaign.
The Toffees were 19th when they decided to part ways with Lampard in January. A 2-0 defeat to West Ham United proved the final straw and Farhad Moshiri acted quickly to appoint Sean Dyche as his replacement.
That loss in the capital was Everton’s 20th top-flight fixture, meaning Lampard - now interim manager at Chelsea - has taken charge for more than half of the campaign. Since then, Dyche has rallied the squad to lift the Blues marginally above the bottom three.
