Former Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard has been appointed as Everton new coach, the Englishman was given a two-and-a-half-year deal to become Everton’s new manager and is now putting his backroom staff in place and working on new signings. He completed the formalities of his contract on Sunday. The 43-year-old replaces Rafael Benitez, who left the club earlier this month after one win in 13 games.
Everton Appoints Frank Lampard as their New head Coach
Frank Lampard was offered the job after Everton’s hierarchy conducted a final round of interviews on Friday. The interviews included Lampard, Portuguese coach Vitor Pereira and current caretaker manager Duncan Ferguson. Former Manchester United player Wayne Rooney was also offered the job but he turned them down as he is with Derby County.
Frank Lampard was announced the head coach of the club to replace Rafa Benitez. The club has signed Manchester United playmaker Donny van de Beek on loan until the end of the season. Lampard, who has been out of the game since being sacked as Chelsea manager a year ago, will take charge of his first game in the FA Cup fourth-round tie at home to Brentford on Saturday before a crucial Premier League relegation match away to Newcastle United a week on Tuesday.
