Everton are reportedly set to sack manager Frank Lampard today with the club lying 19th in the Premier League table. Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at fellow strugglers West Ham looks set to be the final nail for Lampard, according to Sky Sports News. Express Sport looks at the six options the Everton board have to replace the Chelsea legend.
Sean Dyche
Dyche is already one of the leading candidates to take over at Goodison Park. He has been out of work since being fired by Burnley last April.
He was not given the chance to keep the Clarets in the Premier League after doing so for several years on a shoestring budget. The Everton board may choose Dyche for his experience near the bottom of the table.
Marcelo Bielsa
Bielsa was transformative at Leeds and led them to promotion back to the top flight in 2021. After a fine first season back in the big time, the Argentinean was sacked last February with his team languishing near the bottom.
He has been linked with a number of jobs since but is yet to take one. Whether the prospect of taking over at a club struggling as much as Everton will appeal to him remains to be seen.
Wayne Rooney
Former Everton forward Rooney has been linked with the Goodison job for the past two times they have been searching for a manager. He rejected the chance of an interview last January before Lampard got the job, as he wanted to continue with the task he had at Derby.
Rooney is now managing in MLS with DC United after resigning from the Rams job in the summer. However, he is set to be among the candidates Everton speak to.
Sam Allardyce
When you’re fighting relegation and searching for a new manager, Allardyce’s name will always come up. He failed in his last mission, as he was unable to keep West Brom up in the 2020/21 campaign.
