Frank Lampard is facing a very familiar feeling after being sacked in January for the second time in three years.
Everton confirmed the ex-England international would be leaving his role as manager, less than a year after he replaced Rafael Benitez. Lampard helped the Toffees avoid relegation at the end of his first campaign in charge, but has failed to kick on with his side marooned in the relegation zone.
And following a damaging defeat to West Ham, Lampard was informed he would be leaving Goodison Park. His latest blow comes almost exactly two years on from his painful exit as Chelsea boss. Like in 2023, Lampard was axed towards the end of the January window, despite winning his final game in charge. "This has been a very difficult decision, and not one that the owner and the board have taken lightly,” the statement read.
