Former England midfielder Lampard, 44, replaced Rafael Benitez in January 2022 with the team 16th in the table and helped Everton avoid relegation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Everton are now looking for their sixth permanent manager in five years.<\/span><\/p>\n

After a <\/span>1-1 draw<\/span><\/a>\u00a0at reigning champions Manchester City on 31 December, Everton have\u00a0<\/span>lost 4-1 to Brighton<\/span><\/a>\u00a0at Goodison Park, were knocked out of the FA Cup with a\u00a0<\/span>3-1 defeat at Manchester United<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and were then\u00a0<\/span>beaten by Southampton<\/span><\/a>\u00a0despite taking the lead, before the latest defeat by West Ham.<\/span><\/p>\n
