Frank Lampard is anticipated to be interviewed soon for Everton’s Managers Job, with Wayne Rooney also being discussed as a possible possibility.
Rafa Benitez was fired by Everton after a 2-1 loss to relegation rivals Norwich on Saturday, after only six and a half months in charge of the blue side of Merseyside.
Rooney is said to be happy and focused at Derby, but given his history and affiliation with the club, he would find it tough to say no to Everton.
Lampard, on the other hand, has been unemployed since Chelsea fired him in January of last year.
Everton has put together a shortlist that includes the two former England internationals, as well as former manager Roberto Martinez and Nuno Espirito Santo, who was fired by Tottenham earlier this season.
Until a successor is named, Duncan Ferguson will be in charge of training at Finch Farm as stated by the Club in a Tweet Post. He was in charge of Everton for a brief time before Carlo Ancelotti was appointed, with some believing he should succeed Benitez.
It’s understandable that his name is discussed because he’ll be mentioned every time a Premier League position becomes available. He accomplished a decent job at Chelsea. It was a difficulty for him since he had a transfer embargo on the club when he was appointed, so he couldn’t necessarily mold it in his image.
He had a good season at Derby and a good season at Chelsea. Which club is best for him? Lampard has a difficult task ahead of him.
It might not be the appropriate time for him, but he is definitely going to be intrigued because Everton is such a well-known name in English football. One of the sleeping giants, they’re thought to be.
Everton are currently hunting for their sixth permanent manager since Roberto Martinez’s departure, indicating that their manager recruitment method is definitely flawed in some way, shape, or form because they are not finding the right man for the right team.
Fans are pulling their hair out, and it’s understandable why: it’s been an endless loop with no apparent light at the end of the tunnel. Rafa Benitez, on the other side, had to get off to a good start and then exceed expectations. Given his past with Liverpool, he was despised by a large portion of the fan base.
