Former Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has been appointed as the new Everton manager.

The 43-year-old who has agreed on a two-and-a-half-year contract – until June 2024 will replace Rafael Benitez who was sacked over a poor run of results.

Lampard will take charge of the First Team for the FA Cup fourth-round tie against Brentford at Goodison Park on Saturday 5th February.

He will be supported by a vastly experienced and talented backroom team made up of Joe Edwards as his Assistant Manager, Paul Clement as First Team Coach and Chris Jones as First Team Coach and Head of Performance.

“It is a huge honour for me to represent and manage a club the size and tradition of Everton Football Club. I’m very hungry to get started. After speaking to the owner, Chairman and the Board, I very much felt their passion and ambition. I hope they felt my ambition and how hard I want to work to bring it together.

“You can feel the passion Everton fans have for their club. That will be hugely important. As a team – the competitive level that the Premier League brings and the position we are in the table – we certainly need that. It’s a two-way thing. I think Everton is a unique club in that you can really understand what the fans want to see. The first thing they want is fight and desire and that must always be our baseline.

“My first message to the players will be that we have to do this together. We’ll try to do our job and I know the fans will be there backing us.”

The Toffees have only won one game in the English Premier League since September despite the strong start to the season.

Currently, they are in the 16th spot with 19 points after 20 games this season, just four points above the relegation zone.
