Frank Lampard's time as Everton manager is over.
It emerged this afternoon Lampard's reign at Goodison Park had come to an end after less than one full year in charge of the Blues, his final game at the helm proving to be Saturday's defeat at the home of West Ham United.
Appointed on January 31 of last year, the 44-year-old helped Everton retain their Premier League status in dramatic style last season by securing a comeback victory against Crystal Palace to end relegation fears.
