After being fired on Monday afternoon, Frank Lampard’s tenure as Everton’s manager is finished.
During a phone call with Farhad Moshiri, the majority stakeholder of Everton, the former Chelsea and Derby manager was informed that his 357-day tenure as manager had come to an end.
He was aware the appetite for managerial change had grown but had been left uncertain about what direction the club might take, as some conversations he had with Moshiri centred on his views on recruitment.

Everton, who are in desperate need of new players, are close to finalising a deal to sign Arnaut Danjuma on loan until the end of the campaign but that business has been concluded while Lampard awaited to learn his fate.
The 44-year-contract, old’s which he signed on January 31 of last year, has 18 months left on it.
Although it has not yet been announced, it is anticipated that Joe Edwards, Chris Jones, Paul Clement, and Ashley Cole, members of his backroom staff, will also depart alongside Lampard.
It has been a really difficult moment for Lampard, who had developed a strong bond with the team, loved living in the North West, and was eager to win over a group of supporters who had only ever shown him public support.
