Chelsea's legendary captain is close to the mountain! Everton was willing, and for a year he looked for an NBA coach to learn from him
Chelsea star and former manager Frank Lampard, who has been idle at home for more than a year, now seems to have a job. It has been suggested that he will be the manager again, but not back to Chelsea.
Everton, who is in the low tide of the Premier League, looking for a new coach has been twisting and turning, and recently made up his mind to invite Lampard, and the chances of success are very high.
Everton sacked Benitez, who has been in office for half a season, in mid-month, and is eager for a new manager to get out of trouble. Football journalist Fabrizio Romano and other sources pointed out that Everton negotiated with Lampard last week and after meeting again this week, it was intended to hire.
Everton dismissed Benitez about two weeks ago and temporarily handed the title to Duncan Ferguson, but lost last week, losing 1-0 at home to Aston Villa led by Gerrard. In the face of the fans' scolding, the management decided to speed up the selection process, originally Pereira was deeply welcomed by the senior management because of the first round of interviews, and was close to appointing the Portuguese coach to lead the team, how to expect strong opposition from the fans, but also scribbled on the wall outside the Door of Goodison Park to express dissatisfaction, writing "Pereira Out, Lampard In" words.
Entering the final stages of the coaching process, there are also interim head coach and star Duncan Ferguson, and Vitor Pereira, who has coached Shanghai SIPG. Sources pointed out that Everton will inform the two about the decision to select the manager, and whether Ferguson will become a member of Lampard's coaching team is still unknown. In addition, Everton had invited another member of the team, Rooney, but Rooney was determined to coexist with derby County, which was in dire straits, and refused to meet.
Lampard was sacked by Chelsea last January and has not landed. He was interviewed earlier by Manchester United star Gary Neville, revealing that the loss of Chelsea had hurt him, so he temporarily left the coaching bench to spend time with his family, including his newborn son. However, during this period, he did not forget the work of the coach, constantly watching the game video, and maintaining contact with the industry. He has spoken with Leicester City coach Rogers and even "crossed" to learn from NBA Warriors coach Steve Kerr to explore whether there are similarities between coaching two types of balls.
Recently, many teams have invited Lampard when changing coaches, such as Crystal Palace and Aston Villa. Norwich executives even personally negotiated with Frank after firing Fark, but ultimately chose Dean Smith. If he is coaching the "Toffee", the top priority is to improve the team's status and work hard for relegation. Everton have fallen to 16th in the league from last October, winning just one of their 14 league games.
