Frank Lampard has been sacked as Everton manager days after suffering another damaging victory, losing 2-0 at West Ham.
The Toffees went into Saturday’s clash with the Hammers looking to avoid a fifth defeat in six Premier League matches since the World Cup break. But the reversal at the hands of their fellow relegation strugglers means that Everton find themselves marooned in the bottom three and on the lookout for another manager.
Goodison Park bosses have been forced into action just over a week after supporters carried out a number of protests about the direction of the club. Much of the ire was directed towards those above Lampard, including owner Farhad Moshiri, but it is the manager that has now paid the price with his job.
