Wayne Rooney's admission about next job piles pressure on Frank Lampard at Everton

Everton manager Frank Lampard may have to worry about being succeeded by Wayne Rooney for a second time, if comments from the former Toffees striker are anything to go by.

Rooney took over as Derby County manager in 2020, just over a year after his former England teammate Lampard left the post to step into the dugout at Chelsea. However, the 36-year-old confirmed this week that he would be leaving the Rams with immediate effect after a difficult few months on and off the pitch.

Derby are yet to identify a new boss, with another former England international - John Terry - among those linked with the job. Rooney, meanwhile, has previously made comments about his old club which might be enough for Lampard to take notice.
