Everton Next Manager: Frank Lampard set to take over at Goodison Park

Everton have chosen the former Chelsea manager Frank Lampard as the replacement for Rafael Benitez.

The Spaniard was sacked after a series of disappointing results in the Premier League and Lampard will be tasked with reviving Everton’s season now.

According to the Guardian, the move should be confirmed soon.

Apparently, Lampard met with the Everton majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri in London yesterday and his interview was quite impressive. He was not the only manager who was shortlisted for the role and Vitor Perreira was unsuccessful in convincing the Everton hierarchy.

Lampard has managed in the Premier League before with Chelsea but he had a difficult time at Stamford Bridge and the Blues had to sack him.
