The Chelsea legend was sacked after a 2-0 loss to West Ham, which was the Toffees’ 11th loss in their last 14 games in all competitions.

He had seen Everton miss out on a number of transfer targets that interested him, most notably Danny Ings, who left Aston Villa to join West Ham, and was on the defensive from the start of the season after Richarlison was sold to Tottenham. . .

Everton’s problems on the pitch are best summed up by the fact that they have only scored two goals or more in two of their 20 Premier League games and a lack of firepower has led to a loss of confidence.

Lampard has also had to deal with disciplinary problems within his squad and was forced to send Abdoulaye Doucoure to training alone last week following a trade following a 2-1 loss to Southampton on 14 January.

Everton have since brought in Sean Dyche as his successor, who is now tasked with keeping the club in the Premier League.
