Chelsea legend, Frank Lampard has been sacked as Everton manager following a poor run of results, the latest being the Toffees’ 2-0 defeat to West Ham United at the London Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Owner Farhad Moshiri was in attendance at the stadium at the weekend after flying in from Monaco. Also watching was chairman, Bill Kenwright and CEO, Denise Barrett-Baxendale.
The defeat left Everton second bottom of the Premier League table after winning just three Premier League games so far.
Speaking to Sky Sports News after that defeat, Moshiri said “it’s not my decision” when asked if Lampard’s time was up.

However, the Blues on Monday, January 23, decided to part ways with the Chelsea legend.
The former Chelsea boss arrived at Goodison Park in January 2022, and although he helped the club avoid the drop last season, he leaves Everton with 15 points from 20 games.
In contention for the job is Sean Dyche who is the early favourite by the bookies to take over, Duncan Ferguson, Marcelo Bielsa and Wayne Rooney are also being considered.
