Frank Lampard has been relieved of his duties as Everton’s head coach. The Everton board reached the decision on Monday after a string of disappointing performances. The team now finds itself in a precarious position, fighting for Premier League survival. Sitting in 19th place in the relegation zone, Everton has amassed only 15 points from 20 matches, with just three wins and 11 losses this season.
Lampard was notified of his dismissal during a phone call with Farhad Moshiri, Everton’s major shareholder, after 357 days in charge. The decision, long anticipated, came shortly after Everton’s 2‑0 defeat to West Ham the previous day. Speculation about Lampard’s future intensified following that match, as he was reportedly in discussions with Moshiri, Chairman Bill Kenwright, and Director of Football Kevin Thelwell. Growing pressure from fans, who had been vocal in demanding his removal, also played a significant role in the management’s choice.
