Lampard Handles Everton, 2.5-year Contract Has Been Signed

JAKARTA - Frank Lampard has signed a contract as manager of Premier League club Everton, British media reported as quoted by Reuters on Monday.

Quoted by Antara, Lampard, who has been out of work since being sacked by Chelsea in January 2021, has agreed on a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Merseyside club, the BBC, Sky Sports, and other media reports.

Everton sacked Rafa Benitez in early January after winning just one of their 13 league games.

Former Everton striker Duncan Ferguson was interim coach for the next game when they lost 0-1 against Aston Villa.

The former England midfielder ended a scintillating playing career that was mostly spent with Chelsea in 2017.

He then switched to management a year later with Derby County and then coach of Chelsea in 2019.
