Breaking News : Everton officials have ready to sign former Premier League manager to replace Frank Lampard
Former Premier League managers have been contacted by Everton regarding replacing Frank Lampard.
After firing Frank Lampard yesterday, Everton has spoken with former Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa about perhaps taking over.
According to Fabrizio Romano in his daily briefing for CaughtOffside, although he notes that there is currently nothing advanced or imminent, it is only the beginning of negotiations with those close to the former Leeds manager.
With his influence on top managers like Pep Guardiola, Mauricio Pochettino, and others, Bielsa has long been recognized as a leader in world football. During his time at Elland Road, he also rose to enormous popularity.
The Argentine tactician, who assisted Leeds in returning to the Premier League after 16 years away, seems like the perfect choice to help this Everton team out of its current jam.
The fear of relegation is quite serious for the Toffees, who are presently 19th in the Premier League table, and they urgently need to improve quickly.
However, it appears that the person who will take Lampard’s place, who was fired yesterday, has not yet been selected in full.
“Everton spoke with Marcelo Bielsa’s confidantes, but nothing is close to being finished or advanced at this time. The decision is not imminent yet; they are still deliberating internally, according to Romano.
