Frank Lampard comments following his dismissal as Everton manager (See What He Said)
Frank Lampard, a Chelsea star, has spoken out after being handed the door as Everton manager.
After a 10-game losing streak that includes eight defeats, Lampard, one of the greatest midfielders in English top-flight history, was fired by Goodison Park landlords on Monday.
Everton were comfortably in the relegation zone when the former Chelsea and Derby County manager quit the club.
After 20 games, the Toffees are ranked 19th in the standings.
They have never been dropped from the Premier League, but they might end up in the Championship the following year.
Prior to Lampard’s appointment on a rescue mission, which he successfully completed after succeeding Rafael Benitez, the Toffees were similarly in serious trouble last season.
The 44-year-old has now issued a statement following his sack, saying:
“Coming into Everton last year I knew we were in a tough moment.”
The Englishman said he will always be proud of the incredible work and support he got from everyone involved with the team.
He thanked everybody, adding that
“I will never forget the incredible night against Palace that we shared.
“I’m disappointed that we couldn’t achieve more together and wish all the players and everyone at Everton FC the very best for the future.”
