Frank Lampard will be replaced as Everton’s new coach by the former manager of Leeds United, Marcelo Bielsa.
According to Sky Sports, with Everton currently ranked 19th in the Premier League, Bielsa is being considered as Lampard’s replacement.
After firing Lampard on Monday, the Everton administration has made Bielsa their first pick to take over as the team’s manager.

Since leaving Leeds in February of last year, Bielsa has been jobless. He has already spoken with Everton’s management about taking over at Goodison Park.
According to the article, the 67-year-old has also expressed a desire to accept the position.
Remember that Everton fired Lampard on Monday following their 2-0 loss to West Ham United on Saturday, dropping them to 19th place in the Premier League and giving them a winless streak of 10 games across all competitions.
The next match for Everton isn’t until February 4, when Arsenal come to Goodison Park.
