Everton sacked Frank Lampard after less than a year in charge and now they have been linked with a legendary manager.
Lampard, 44, replaced Rafael Benitez with the team 16th in the table and helped Everton avoid relegation.
The club thanked Lampard “for their service during what has been a challenging 12 months”.
“Frank and his team’s commitment and dedication have been exemplary throughout their time at the club, but recent results and the current league position meant this difficult decision had to be taken,” added a club statement.
